In March of 1922, the Redemptorists left Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Downey, CA and began to serve at St. Mary’s Assumption Parish in Whittier.
The Vincentians had served the parish for 29 years when Bishop John Cantwell of the Monterrey-Los Angeles Diocese asked the Redemptorists to begin serving the parish. One hundred years later, we believe it is something to celebrate.
We will celebrate 100 years at St. Mary’s Assumption Parish at 5:00 pm on August 13. All Redemptorists of the Denver Province are invited to join us for the celebration, especially those who have served at the parish.
Please share any historical stories or pictures of St. Mary’s Assumption with Fr. Patrick Keyes at [email protected].
