While playing basketball in seminary for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Father Juan Manuel Gutierrez tore his achilles tendon. After finally, discovering it was torn and not strained, he was looking at a major surgery and lengthy recovery until he began a novena to Pier Giorgio. Father Gutierrez will be preaching at all Masses (4pm Vigil, 8am, 11am, 5pm) at Frassati on Pier Giorgio's birthday weekend (April 5 & 6), when we begin our Lenten Parish Mission.
