A parish gets it rolling<\/a><\/p>\n

Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church members are signing up to pray 24 hours a day at a small Perpetual Adoration chapel where they believe Christ \u2014 or his physical representation \u2014 must never be left alone.<\/p>\n

“I’m praying for a Wilmington with lower crime, less graffiti, no gangs, and I want a better Wilmington,” Anaya said.<\/p>\n

So he’s signed up for Thursdays from 10 to 11 p.m. and has taken on an additional shift Thursday from 2 to 3 a.m. <\/p>\n

“I really do believe that this will help. We all do,” Anaya said.<\/p>\n

The church, celebrating its 138th anniversary, is one of the oldest in Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n

The chapel was once a room used by the priests for storage, but it has been turned into a space with designs similar to the adjacent church. The host, or consecrated wafer of bread, is contained in a sparkling gold monstrance, encased in a glass cabinet with red velvet curtains. <\/p>\n

The marble altar comes from a Wilmington shop. The three wooden pews and the walls were completed by craftsmen from Wilmington.<\/p>\n

“It was a labor of love so that the chapel belongs to the people,” said the Rev. Peter Irving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
