In this special issue of <strong>Angelus</strong>, we pay tribute to a beloved bishop and courageous missionary who won hearts and souls for Jesus Christ wherever he went. Our team coverage begins on Page 10 with a chronicle of LA’s three-day farewell to its beloved ‘Bishop Dave,’ and later, on Page 16, stories and perspectives from his closest loved ones about his vocation and ties to his homeland.

Gomez celebrated a special <strong>March</strong> 1 Memorial Mass for Bishop O’Connell at St. John Vianney Church in Hacienda Heights, the first of three liturgies for the slain auxiliary.
