Special services of veneration will be held in Los Angeles in honor of the saint, a 16th century Catholic missionary to the Far East. A triduum began yesterday at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Hollywood...Father Cornelius McCoy, pastor of the parish, greeted the Rev. Arthur McGratty, S. J., when he arrived at the airport bearing the relic on its visit to Los Angeles."
