The next Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Most Reverend José Gomez, will celebrate the Mass at 10 AM, at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 555 W. Temple Street, in downtown Los Angeles. This year, in commemoration of the anniversary of 9/11, two local officers, Detective Rene Lopez of the San Gabriel Police Department representing the Kateri Community and Deputy Sherriff Ben Cariaga representing the Guam Community will place a flag and a candle next to the altar in memory of the victims of 9/11. The Mass is a unique and colorful celebration, incorporating native songs and dances performed by various ethnic communities in their traditional attire. The Polish folk group Krakusy will open this year?s celebration with a special dance to Frederic Chopin?s ?Polonaise.? The Mass will also include a Call to Worship by dancers and drummers from the African American Community and a Penitential Rite including Indonesian dancers and musicians. The Catholic Church recognizes our cultural diversity as an important constitutive part of our society. The Faithful from throughout the Archdiocese gather each year to celebrate the rich cultural diversity of Los Angeles and to recognize the unique gifts each of our communities brings to our Local Church.
