On September 4, 1781, a small town was founded with the name “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de Los Ángeles.”  Originally a settlement of native tribes, European missionaries, and Mexican Pobladores, the City of Los Angeles has grown in size and diversity under the protection and care of its namesake.

 

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Office of Ethnic Ministry and the Queen of Angels Foundation will host the Many Peoples, One Mother Mass in honor of Our Lady of the Angels, Patroness of the City and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.  The Votive Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop José H. Gomez at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 3 p.m.  The Entrance Procession will start at 2:30 p.m. and a Rosary Procession will follow Mass on the Cathedral Plaza.

 

Join representatives of the many cultures, papal orders (Order of Malta, Order of the Holy Sepulcher, Order of St. Lazarus, Order of St. Gregory) and fraternal service orders (Knights of Columbus, Knights of Peter Claver) from across the Archdiocese to pray for unity among all peoples.
