A New Shrine at the University of San Francisco Honors the Jesuit Martyrs

A New Shrine at the University of San Francisco Honors the Jesuit Martyrs

https://jesuits.org/news-detail?TN=NEWS-20200120112028USA

February 10, 2020 — To mark the 30th anniversary of the assassination of six Jesuit priests and their two lay companions in El Salvador, the University of San Francisco erected a new memorial on campus.





The UCA Martyr Memorial honors the Jesuit priests, along with their housekeeper and her daughter, who were murdered on November 16, 1989, at the University of Central America by the Salvadoran military.
Fr. Donal Godfrey, SJ, associate director for faculty and staff spirituality at USF, explained that the Jesuits had spoken against the kidnapping, torture and murder of civilians, many of them poor, at the hands of El Salvador’s military regime during the country’s civil war. Because the Jesuits spoke up, they were targeted as enemies.
“With this memorial, we honor the martyrs in El Salvador, and we reaffirm our Jesuit mission to struggle against injustice and seek the truth,” said Fr. Godfrey.

Relic of Saint Juan Diego's Tilma - Los Angeles, California

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
555 West Temple Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012-2707
Ph:  (213) 680-5200

 The chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe is located at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in the city of Los Angeles, California.
It is the permanent home of a relic of San Juan Diego's tilma — on which the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted in 1531.
The relic in Los Angeles is the only known piece of the tilma in the United States.

A 12 foot replica of the Tillma is of the original, centuries old image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, as it has been enshrined at the Basilica of Tepeyac in Mexico City. Three panels forming a triptych shrine face the main Plaza.

It has many amazing fountains.

Shrine in California

Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows
745 Ware Ave.
Colusa, CA. 95932 

Site of the first Catholic mass to be said in Colusa County in May of 1856.
In 1864, a Catholic mission was conducted and a large wooden cross erected to commemorate the occasion. Masses, pilgrimages and visits were made here continuously thereafter.
In order to preserve the identity of the place, Father Michael Wallrath, the first pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, secured a deed from Mrs. Anna Myers to this parcel of land and constructed a small shrine from hand kilned bricks in 1883.
The present cross was erected by the Knights of Columbus and replaced the one erected here in 1864.
