Father Greg Boyle, legendary minister to Los Angeles gang members and founder of Homeboy Industries, one of the nation’s first large-scale re-entry and job training programs, will speak in honor of Catholic Community Services’ 85th anniversary on Tuesday, June 27th at 5:00 pm PST, doors open at 4:30 pm PST, at Queen of Peace Catholic Church.

​

Fr. Greg will be joined by Luis “Suave” Gonzalez, a former “juvenile lifer” who is the subject of the Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast “Suave,” and is currently an artist, activist, and college counselor in Philadelphia, PA.

​

The two will speak about the power and compassion of community in bringing hope to people who have little.
