OneLife LA Celebrates All Human Life in Southern California

A huge event was held in Grand Park on Saturday, January 17, 2015. I happened upon this wonderful, life-affirming event while enroute to The Music Center for another event.

Los Angeles, Sunshine, and Pro-Life

Los Angeles knows how to do a pro-life walk/rally. After oh-so-many freezing (but, of course worth it!) Marches for Life in DC and Olympia, WA, it was almost surreal to be at a pro-life gathering with warm sunshine instead of snow, rain, and whatever other chilling effects of weather that exist.

Los Angeles archdiocese expects thousands at first-ever, massive pro-life conference on Saturday

A first-of-its kind major pro-life event is taking place this Saturday in Los Angeles, a brand-new initiative inspired by L.A.’s pro-life archbishop.

“This is completely the idea of Archbishop (Jose) Gomez,” Kathleen Buckley Domingo, Life Coordinator for the archdiocese’s Office of Life, Justice and Peace told LifeSiteNews. “He really provided the entire vision and framework for this event.”

Decision to canonize Father Junipero Serra draws divided reaction

He wandered beyond the edge of Christendom into a rugged land of “infidels” he sought to convert.

When Father Junipero Serra and his cavalcade arrived at la bahia de San Diego in 1769, between 225,000 and 310,000 natives inhabited the territory that would become the state of California. The string of missions he and his Franciscan order established would become an origin story for the state, a folkloric tale of vineyards and benevolent friars, taught to students from Modoc to San Ysidro.
