On Saturday, August 17th our RCIA group went on a summer field trip. The day started meeting in the OLR Church Parking lot to carpool, then we hit the freeway to head to downtown Los Angeles to visit Our Lady of the Angles Cathedral. We walked around the inside of the Cathedral admiring the archeticture and artwork. We also explored the Mausoleum, garden and gift shop.

Then we hoped back on the freeway for a few minutes and headed towards Mission San Gabriel. Exterior entrance to the Mission Church. Inside the Mission Church Vines of growing grapes!
