It’s pretty safe to say that in the 20-year history of the Los Angeles Catholic Prayer Breakfast, rappers Ice Cube and Eminem have never been quoted before. But the breakfast has not really hosted a personality quite like Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Espaillat, the energetic, Dominican, Yankees-hat-wearing, proud hip-hop culture-spouting prelate from New York. You’re welcome.”Espaillat was the keynote speaker at the LA Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Sept. 16, the 20th edition of the event that gathers religious leaders, parishioners, and students for a day of celebrating their faith. He was the youngest Catholic bishop in the world when he was appointed by Pope Francis in 2022. Persevere in prayer.”“Faith will not be given to the world if we don’t come out and give it to them,” he said.
