Archbishop José H. Gomez will preside over a Mass to celebrate former Mayor Riordan, who helped reunite LA in the wake of the Rodney King riots.
“Mayor Riordan was a devoted public servant, a generous philanthropist, a wise civic leader, and a fine Christian gentleman, who worked hard to make life better for those he served, especially for the poorest Angelenos,” Gomez said in a statement after Riordan’s death. “I could always count on his advice and counsel and was always encouraged by his enthusiasm and optimism for the Church’s mission. He will be missed.
He received praise for his no-nonsense attitude toward the business of City Hall, running it more like an efficient firm than a lumbering bureaucracy.
