CCF-LA Visits the Cathedral

In July, CCF-LA permanent staff and five summer interns were treated to a tour of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels conducted uniquely by Br. Hilarion O’Connor, OSF. Br. Hilarion has an historical perspective since he was with Cardinal Mahony and his advisors, the architect, builders and fundraisers before, during and after the construction that began in 1999 and was completed in spring of 2002. Built to last for at least 500 or more years, the Cathedral enjoys a capacity exceeding 3,000 and includes a mausoleum and many areas devoted for prayer and sacred arts.
