LOS ANGELES (RNS) — Catholics, multi-faith clergy and elected leaders from across Southern California filled the pews of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles on Friday for the funeral Mass of Auxiliary Bishop David Gerard O'Connell, a beloved priest regarded as a 'peacekeeper,' a 'man of the people' and a 'good friend to Los Angeles.' It was the third day of memorial services in remembrance of O'Connell, 69, a native of Ireland, who was found shot to death Feb. 18 in his Hacienda Heights home.
