Bishop Juan Arzube dies at 89 - Los Angeles

Retired Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Juan A. Arzube, among the country’s first Hispanic bishops ordained in the post-Vatican II era, died Dec. 25 in Los Angeles. He was 89, and had lived at Nazareth House in West Los Angeles since 2002.

A funeral Mass was celebrated Dec. 31 at the Chapel of the Risen Christ at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City for Bishop Arzube, the second Hispanic bishop ordained in the U.S. (after Auxiliary Bishop Patrick Flores of San Antonio) when he was made a Los Angeles auxiliary in 1971. His involvement with various issues in the church and in the community prompted new outreach to Hispanics in the Los Angeles Archdiocese.”*
