Held the day before the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Archbishop Gomez said the Requiem Mass was a moment to pray for those “who never had the chance to be born” but also “for a new awakening of love — in our hearts, and in the hearts of our neighbors.” By Pablo Kay, Angelus News
Thousands of Southern Californians gathered back in-person at the nineth annual OneLife LA Jan. 21 to celebrate the beauty and dignity of every human life from conception to natural death. Spearheaded by the Archdiocese’s Office of Life, Justice and Peace, this year’s event kicked off at the city’s birthplace, La Placita, with a welcome from Archbishop José H. Gomez, who led a Walk for Life from Olvera Street to Los Angeles State Historic Park for the official program and celebration. The program and family festival included a roster of dynamic voices sharing their personal and life-affirming stories. More coverage to come from Angelus News. (ADLA/ONELIFE LA)
