The Los Angeles Archdiocese celebration for religious men and women observing significant jubilees of religious profession took place at 3:30 PM, Sunday, January 28, 2007, at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angeles. 140 religious are observing jubilees this year, and 70 of them were present for the celebration.

After the Eucharist a reception was held in the Cathedral hall which was attended by many of St. Benedict’s parishioners. The Cardinal, as always the soul of graciousness and charm, posed for individual pictures with the Jubilarians and congratulated Fr. McGuire for his many years of faithfulness as a religious.
