St. Mariana de Paredes Catholic Church History
Parish History
Father Herve M. Trebaol, a native Angeleno, was the founding pastor of the parish named for the young saint Mariana, who died in 1645 at the age of 26 in Ecuador. He served the parish for twenty-one years, building the church and the school. He died in 1971 at the age of 69. He was an Army chaplain during World War II.
Monsignor Matthew Kelly, another native Angeleno, headed the parish for five years, followed by Father Gerald Maechler, also of Los Angeles. They both died in 2002. From 1981 to 1993, St. Mariana was led by pastor Father H. Gerald McSorley of County Tyrone, Ireland. Father McSorley was first assigned here following his ordination in 1964 and returned as pastor in 1981. Father Fernando Iglesias became pastor in 1993 and served for 10 years until his retirement.
Father David Gallardo, of Santa Monica, was named administrator in 2003 and pastor in 2004. He served as pastor until June 2015. Father Lazaro “Larry” Revilla was named administrator in 2015. Father Revilla was born in the Philippines but raised in the South Bay of Los Angeles County. Similar to Father McSorley, Father Revilla was named pastor to the church of his first assignment upon ordination. Father Revilla was appointed pastor in July 2016.
History of St. Mariana
Saint Mariana was born Mariana de Paredes y Flores on October 31, 1618 at Quito, Ecuador (then part of Peru), of noble Spanish parents and called herself Mariana de Jesus. She was orphaned as a child and raised by her elder sister and her husband.
Early in her life, Mariana was attracted to religious things and became a hermit in her sister's home under the direction of a Jesuit confessor. Mariana practiced the greatest austerities, ate hardly anything, slept for only three hours a night for years, had the gift of prophesy, and reputedly performed miracles. When an earthquake followed by an epidemic shook Quito in 1645, she offered herself publicly as a victim for the sins of the people. When the epidemic began to abate, she was stricken and died on May 26,1645.
She is known as Mariana of Quito and is often called "the Lily of Quito." She was canonized in 1950. Her feast day is May 26th.
