Eritrean Bishop Fikremariam Hagos Tsalim has always encouraged his people to engage in all-night prayer vigils. So the immediate response of Eritrean Catholics to news that the 52-year-old bishop was arrested last month was three nights of unceasing prayer, organized by Eritreans in the United States and Canada.

Msgr. John Moretta, pastor of Resurrection Church in Boyle Heights, led a procession through Calvary Cemetery after noon Mass on Saturday, Oct. 29, as part of the cemetery’s annual Día de los Muertos celebration. This year marked the first time the tradition was celebrated in person across the LA Archdiocese’s Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries since the start of the COVID pandemic.
