Here’s what’s next in the aftermath of the death of the popular priest, who was gunned down in February.
Archbishop Jose Gomez delivers the Funeral Mass for Bishop David O’Connell at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, CA, Friday, March 3, 2023. O’Connell was found shot at his Hacienda Heights home on February 18. The suspect in the shooting, 61-year-old Carlos Medina, has been charged with the murder.
The handyman, 61 at the time of the death, worked for the bishop and has confessed to investigators, the district attorney has said, adding that investigators believe they found the gun used in the killing. There, O’Connell is now interred among clerics including Thaddeus Amat y Brusi, the first bishop of Los Angeles, and John Cantwell, the first Archbishop of Los Angeles in the early 20th century. The remains of Saint Vibiana, a third-century martyr of the Church and the patron saint of the Archdiocese of L.A., are also housed there. A famous lay person interred at the Mausoleum: Actor Gregory Peck.
The region, exceedingly diverse, includes Masses spoken in Spanish, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian, Chinese, Arabic and Korean. It also includes the Armenian Eastern Catholic Church. From the list, three candidates are chosen and then sent to the nuncio – a Vatican embassy – in Washington D.C.
