Our Lady of the Angels Pastoral Region
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lady of the Angels Pastoral Region is a pastoral region of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in the Roman Catholic Church. It covers downtown and central Los Angeles west to the City of Malibu and south to the Los Angeles International Airport. In 1986, Los Angeles Archbishop Roger Mahony divided the archdiocese into five pastoral regions to make church leaders more accessible to parishioners.[1][2] This pastoral region is divided four deaneries.
Bishop Matthew Elshoff administers Our Lady of Angels.[3] As of 2026, the region has 77 parishes, 12 high schools, two universities and 48 elementary schools. The Catholic hospitals in this region are not operated by the archdiocese.[4]
