Seeking the Soul of L.A. on Its Streets: Paintings and Stories by J. Michael Walker

A Community of Saints

Basic to "All the Saints" is the idea that the saints dwell among us, hidden in the faces of people we pass on the street.

For many such people, given the impediments they confront, just making it through the day is trial and miracle enough.

In May we were invited to share "All the Saints" with the congregation of St. Agatha's Church, near Adams and

La Brea Boulevards, and invited them to pose as what they are: some of the saints of the City of the Angels.
