DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS
We are thrilled to announce that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will be celebrating Día de Los Muertos 2023 at three Catholic cemetery locations. The first celebration took place in 2014 at Calvary Cemetery and Mortuary in East Los Angeles, and since then, Santa Clara Cemetery and Mortuary joined in 2016, making these unique cultural celebrations even more popular. This year, we are excited to welcome San Fernando Mission Cemetery and Mission Hills Catholic Mortuary to the festivities.

November 20
As part of our efforts to maintain the beauty of Catholic Cemeteries, we have established a regular practice of removing flowers every Thursday. However, we do recognize the importance of certain holidays such as Easter, All Souls Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, during which we allow flowers to remain undisturbed. We extend our deepest gratitude for your cooperation and understanding in our mission to preserve the dignity and peace of our cemetery grounds. For your convenience, we have provided a comprehensive list of the Holiday Flower Schedules, which you can access by clicking here.Read More -
November 6
It’s a day intended for remembering family and friends who have passed from this life, but per the norm, Day of the Dead celebrations across the Archdiocese were fun-filled, vibrant, downright joyous occasions. Over the course of two weekends -- Saturday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Nov. 4 – a trio of our most storied cemeteries hosted thousands of our faithful for day-long celebrations. At Calvary in East Los Angeles and Santa Clara in Oxnard, the crowds were large, and things felt assuredly normal as they marked their second year of in-person celebrations after the two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The big story, however, was (more...)Read More -

Like any other year, our 11 Catholic cemeteries celebrated All Souls Day Masses on Thursday, Nov. 2, but this year’s Mass at Assumption Cemetery in Simi Valley brought another cause for celebration. When the morning Mass concluded, Fr. Riz Carranza of nearby St. Peter Claver Church led a group of his fellow priests, plus deacons, Knights of Columbus, and hundreds of onlookers to a neighboring corner of the cemetery for a second ceremony to bless and dedicate the St. John of Vianney section. The moment surely took on special meaning for some of the clergy there. St. John Vianney is patron saint of parish priests, and the new section will likely be the final resting place for many of those serving across the Archdiocese. (more...)Read More -
October 26
It was a happy day at Calvary Cemetery in East L.A., and the rebirth of a vaunted tradition at one of the Archdiocese’s oldest operating cemeteries. On Wednesday, Oct. 25, some 200 third graders from nine neighboring Catholic schools descended on Calvary for Catechetical Day, a precursor for the annual Day of the Dead celebration, set this year for Saturday, Oct. 28. It was the first time since 2019 – just before the Covid-19 pandemic – that Calvary hosted Catechetical Day in person. They’d spend a half-day learning (more...)Read More

Monday, December 11, 6:00 PM
This annual celebration will feature performances by indigenous dancers on the Cathedral Plaza, and the veneration of the sacred relic of the tilma of St. Juan Diego, which bears the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It's worth noting that the Cathedral is home to the only relic of the tilma outside of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Once inside the Cathedral, the celebration continues with a special Rosary and musical tributes by a mariachi band, who will perform "Las Mañanitas," a traditional Mexican birthday song to honor the Virgin on her Feast Day. The program will be conducted in Spanish, and the festivities will conclude with a midnight Mass, presided over by Archbishop José H. Gomez. We look forward to seeing you at this special event.Read More -
