High-ranking bishop to be remembered in special prayer service
A high-ranking bishop will be remembered in a special prayer service on Sunday.
Archbishop Jose Gomez will lead the memorial for Bishop David O'Connell at the Anaheim Convention Center during the 2023 Religious Education Conference.
Deputies found O'Connell dead of a gunshot wound at his Hacienda Heights home last Saturday.
Prosecutors say his housekeeper's husband, 61-year-old Carlos Medina, has confessed to killing O'Connell. A motive remains unknown.
Sunday's prayer service begins at 11:30 a.m. The event is only open to paid registrants of the conference.
O'Connell will be laid to rest on Friday. He was 69 years old.
