OUR LADY OF PEACE IN SEPULVEDA

DISCOVERING OUR VALLEY   2011

The San Fernando Valley, in some ways like New York City in the 1890s, is experiencing a rich infusion of people and cultures from many parts of the world. I experienced this personally when, on a quick visit to this week to Our Lady of Peace Catholic church in Sepulveda. Over a confessional was a note that the priest spokes English, Español and Vietnamese.

Traditional Mexican and Central American shrine candles lighted the edge of an outside shrine, while a doll-like statue of the Infant of Prague looked out of a niche in the church's interior. 

While I was photographing the interior, an elderly Latina lady crawled on her knees toward the main altar decorated with sweeping banners of the Easter season.
