Shantigarh Requiem For The Unborn

Every year, near the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, the Roman Catholic community gathers to remember the victims of abortion. The annual Requiem for the Unborn, presided by Most Reverend Jose Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles, was held on Saturday January 21, 2017 at 5 p.m. at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. 

The Diocesan Primate Archbishop Hovnan Derderian was represented at the Respect Life Mass and Ceremony of Light by the Very Rev. Fr. Pakrad Dz. V. Berjekian, Vicar General.
