A BISHOP MOURNED

 

As we start into Lent a Community mourns the loss of their Bishop, The Most Reverend David O’Connell, Episcopal Vicar of the San Gabriel Pastoral Region. 

 In his statement, Archbishop Gomez said Bishop O'Connell will be remembered as “a man of deep prayer who had a great love for Our Blessed Mother.”

 "He was a peacemaker with a heart for the poor and the immigrant, and he had a passion for building a community where the sanctity and dignity of every human life was honored and protected."

 "May Our Lady of Guadalupe wrap him in the mantle of her love, and may the angels lead him into paradise, and may he rest in peace."
