JOSEPH BRENNAN\, OSB\, has been a monk of Valyermo since 1994 after having served as a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for over 20 years. He is a spiritual director at the Cardinal Manning House of Prayer for priests in Los Angeles as well as St. Andrew’s Sub-Prior. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.
