‘A house of prayer for all peoples’
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
It is great to be here!
I am honored to help you welcome Msgr. Kostelnik as your new pastor. As you know, we lived in the same house at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for five years — so I got to know him pretty good!
