From humble beginnings in southwest Mexico, Gabino Zavala entered the
priesthood and embarked on a remarkable journey that landed him
squarely in the corner offices of the nation's largest Roman Catholic
archdiocese.
An auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, he oversaw the church's vast San Gabriel region, a diverse community considered vital to the future of the church. Then, from his pulpit, he became a forceful champion for social and economic justice.
