In early Feb in L.A. I was delighted to meet and talk to Irish-born bishop O’Connell of @lacatholics at a workshop I gave for leaders / organizers of @WXSWIAF with which he was heavily involved since 1980s. Now this shocking news 😰😱: theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

Bishop Dave (as he was known) was a true shepherd to his flock -- embedded in the lives of his parishioners and teaching thousands of @OneLA_IAF leaders to love their neighbor and fight injustice.

Bishop David O’Connell called attention to gun violence over 20 years ago in his local organizing work with the IAF. He worked to build trust with the LAPD and community members. Just one of many examples of his work as a peacemaker. latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-…

We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Bishop David O’Connell. He was a beloved bishop, an amazing pastor, and a wonderful man. He taught thousands of One LA leaders to both love their neighbor and to fight against injustice. We will carry him in our hearts.
I am very sad to report that our beloved Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell has passed away unexpectedly. May Our Lady of Guadalupe wrap him in the mantle of her love. lacatholics.org/statement-fr…

I just left the @OneLA_IAF forum. It was esp moving to be among a group of people of diverse faiths standing in solidarity for justice, after the recent #antisemitic attacks in @CityofBevHills & w/ demonstrators over the 405.
