St. Bede the Venerable of La Cañada held a 25th anniversary Mass of the ordination of Msgr. Antonio Cacciapuoti on June 14. The silver jubilee celebration brought together family, friends and parishioners from St. Paschals, Christ The King and from as far away as the Diocese of Aversa, Italy. The Mass was celebrated with Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, bishops, pastors and deacons from California.

Father Antonio was ordained in Los Angeles in 1990 by Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and has served the Los Angeles Archdiocese for 25 years. Father Antonio was born in Naples, Italy, and has since become a proud American citizen. He completed his studies in theology in Rome, Italy and at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo. He has served at St. Bede since 2010 after his pastorship at Christ the King Parish in Hancock Park where he was pastor for 11 years
