Corpus Christi Catholic-Christian Community presents
The Eleventh Annual South Orange County Good Friday Prayer Breakfast
‘This day you shall be with me in paradise…’
Featuring: Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy/Homegirl Industries in Los Angeles.
In 1992, in response to the civil unrest in Los Angeles, Fr. Greg established Homeboy Bakery with a mission of creating an environment that would provide training, work experience and the opportunity for rival gang members to set aside their gang-affiliations and work for a common good. Growing into Homeboy Industries, Fr. Greg and his team have offered a safe haven for thousands of those caught up in the cycle of gang violence. Providing the youth of Los Angeles a second chance to develop job skills and educational accomplishments, Homeboy Industries has been hailed as one of the premier gang-reform efforts in the nation. Their motto: ‘Nothing stops a bullet like a job,’ has rung true for the many youth who owe their lives to Homeboy Industries.
