City of Angels has lost a saint

John Olsen, 85, was a St. Bede the Venerable parishioner and longtime resident of La Canada. On August 11, he passed away after a lengthy illness.

Everyone who knew him would confirm that John led a life dedicated to rescue. He organized meals for the hungry and homeless of Los Angeles, established volunteer organizations to provide for the needy, served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 40 years and moved to a third-world country at the age of 76 to help the destitute in Ghana. His door was always open for family and friends who needed shelter and loving care. As a single parent, he raised eight children, ran a successful business and made the less fortunate a priority in his life.
