“Not an occupation”
Archbishop Gomez tells new priests their mission is to evangelize
By Marianne Medlin
Los Angeles, Jun 7, 2011 (CNA/EWTN News) – Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles told a diverse group of new priests during their ordination Mass that they have a responsibility to make God known in a culture that has forgotten him.
“We have a special responsibility for the new evangelization – not only for the new evangelization of Los Angeles and California,” he said, “but also for the new evangelization of our country, our continent, and our world.”
Of the six new priests that Archbishop Gomez ordained at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on June 4, one was born in Mexico, three in Korea and two in the U.S. to immigrant families.
“We are celebrating this morning a special moment of grace and joy as we ordain our brothers – Augustine, Ernesto, Francisco, John, José de Jesus and Michael – to the priesthood of Jesus Christ,” the archbishop said. “This is a beautiful day for our great Church of Los Angeles.”
