Good Shepherd Rosary Honors Fathers Across Our Region

Honors for the most remote cemetery in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles arguably belong to Good Shepherd Cemetery, located in the high desert community of Lancaster near the north edge of L.A. County. But on Saturday, June 18, Good Shepherd took center stage. 
While all 11 of our cemeteries held Father's Day rosaries that day, only Good Shepherd's was streamed to CatholicCM.org and the Archdiocesian site LACatholics.ORG, bringing the service to viewers wherever they may be and whenever they chose to participate. 
In short, it was a big day for Good Shepherd, and Providence seemed to recognize that. At the 2 p.m. start time, the local temperature was in the low 80s – far below the summer norm in this part of the desert, where daytime highs often top 100 degrees. 
The proceedings were in good earthly hands too. Dan Rejniak, who has managed Good Shepherd since its opening in 1991, presided over the service, supported by a team of lectors from nearby parishes and the Antelope Valley Legion of Mary. Together they lead a crowd of several dozen in prayer, song, and celebration of a father's vital importance in families everywhere. The Community Outreach team was also there, arriving early and working behind the scenes to ensure things ran without a hitch. By all accounts, they did.
Father's Day is behind us now, but Dan maintains his steady hand at Good Shepherd.
