Fr. Joshua Lee
Fr. Joshua is the Pastor of St. Hilary’s Church in Whittier, CA. He is a charismatic priest and a gifted
preacher. He was a nurse by profession when he received the call to enter the priesthood; responding to the
Spirit’s call, he became a Benedictine monk at St. Andrews Abbey for several years prior to taking on duties
as a pastoral priest with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Fr. Joshua is a dynamic and well sought speaker at
the annual SCRC Charismatic Convention; he is also a spiritual director and a retreat master.
Last July 2002, the Lord effected the healing of a cancer patient at St. Irenaeus Church’s healing mass services through the ministration of Fr. Joshua. Come with your family and friends and experience the anointing healing power of the Holy Spirit.

The Church of the Pater Noster (Latin for “Our Father”) is a partially

Jerusalem.
It stands on the traditional site of Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer,
and contains plaques that bear the prayer in over 80 different languages,
including Aramaic, Dutch, Tagalog, Pampango, and Ojibway.

Bruno’s at 9 a.m. in Whittier. Collect at least $30 in sponsorships (which goes toward your $30.00 registration
fee) and get a FREE Walk for Life T-shirt at the registration booth at 8a.m. Raffle and $5.00 barbeque
hamburgers will follow Walk. Many parishioners make this Walk as a Lenten penance for the unborn aborted
babies and to show the community of Whittier that life is a precious gift from God. For those who cannot walk
that day, please support WLC as they have been protecting women and their unborn babies for forty years!
For more information please call (562) 693-8803.
