On the cover: The eight men set to be ordained priests for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on June 4 are pictured outside the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Starting on Page 10, Steve Lowery tells their stories: where they come from, how they discerned their vocations, and what they have to say about the people they have to thank for helping them say yes to their special calling.

God’s call has<br />
brought them<br />
here from near<br />
and far. Meet the<br />
new priests of<br />
LA’s class of <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Among the eight men being<br />
ordained to the priesthood on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 4 at the Cathedral of Our<br />
Lady of the Angels by Archbishop<br />
José H. Gomez, there are football<br />
players, teachers, and even a TV animator.<br />
There are children of immigrants<br />
and immigrants themselves.<br />
From as far away as Poland and<br />
as near as Boyle Heights, the men<br />
of the class of <strong>2022</strong> make up the<br />
youngest group of new priests for the<br />
Archdiocese of Los Angeles in several<br />
years.<br />
What unites them is their call to<br />
service, a call that has led them down<br />
a sometimes circuitous road that one<br />
described as a tug-of-war, and which<br />
another confessed to traveling down<br />
“kicking and screaming.”<br />
