St Isidore's Church, Los Angeles
Locked Out of beloved Church, Faithful keep spirit alive
And not the only Church to suffer from this:
"St. Isidore kept offering weekly Masses conducted in Spanish by a St. Hedwig priest but over the years, its devotees say, the old church's treasures began disappearing. Its familiar bell, which according to Rusinek could be heard for miles on a quiet Sunday morning, was given to a visiting priest from New Guinea. 'The last we heard,' Rusinek said, 'it was at a church in Ireland.'
Nobody knows what, exactly, happened to the magnificent white marble altar, imported from Belgium. And all of the original wooden pews, Rusinek said, have been replaced by oddly sized hand-me-downs. But the beautiful stained glass windows remain"
