1 Monsignor Eugene A. Gilb Was Born in Los Angeles, California, on May Monsignor Eugene A. Gilb was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 23, 1930, the youngest of four sons. He was a parishioner of Saint Columbkille in south Los Angeles and attended the parish school. After elementary school he entered Los Angeles College, the minor seminary. For the next 6 years attended St. John’s Major Seminary, Camarillo, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 3, 1957, by Cardinal James Francis McIntyre. After assignments at St. John of God Church, Norwalk, and St. Vibiana Cathedral, he was made Cardinal McIntyre’s priest secretary. In that capacity this 34-year-old priest was given a front row seat in what was one of the most momentous events in the history of the Roman Catholic Church…Vatican Council II. For the final two sessions in 1964 and 1965 since Cardinal McIntyre did not bring a theological advisor with him, Father Gilb acted in that capacity and was thus allowed on the floor of the basilica. Few are alive today who had that opportunity. Implementing Vatican II became a passion for the rest of his priesthood. To give him greater access during the Council, in 1965 McIntyre had him named a Chaplain to his Holiness with the title of Monsignor. In 1967, Monsignor Gilb was appointed assistant director of the Catholic Youth Organization in the archdiocese and served in that capacity until being named associate pastor at Sacred Heart Parish in Lincoln Heights in 1969. Less than a year later he was named administrator, and then pastor, of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Los Nietos, where he served until 1985. In July 1985, Monsignor Gilb became the third pastor of Saint John Fisher Parish, Rancho Palos Verdes. For the next 14 years he would shepherd its parishioners until he retired in 1999. He oversaw the construction of Barrett Hall, moved the parish offices from the rectory to their present location, and both expanded and remodeled the church to reflect the reforms of Vatican II. After retirement he continued to be a beloved figure on the parish campus and throughout the community. Monsignor Gilb was a man of great depth and many interests. He was an avid aviator, an accomplished golfer, and loved to cook and entertain. He was familiar with, and had driven, most of the highways and lesser known roads of California. He could tell you about Saint Patrick’s Day in Murphys, the Christmas Parade of Lights in Sutter Creek, or when to visit any of the California missions. Monsignor Gilb lived the last years of his life at the Little Sisters of the Poor Jeanne Jugan Residence in San Pedro. He enjoyed interacting with the residents there and deeply appreciated the loving care the Sisters and all the staff provided him. Monsignor Gilb will be remembered for many things by countless people whose lives he touched, but perhaps his greatest gift was preaching homilies. At the Mass on the 60th anniversary of his ordination he urged his flock to listen to and heed what is said to us in Psalm 23. Monsignor Gilb certainly lived his life guided by its beautiful words, and now he too, “dwells in the house of the Lord for years to come.” Monsignor Gilb was predeceased by his parents and three brothers Kenneth, Donald and Clifford. He is survived by his sister-in-law Anita Gilb of West Covina, besides nieces and nephews Donnette 1 Guiltinan (Tom); Clifford Gilb (Brenda); Julie Landgard (John); John Gilb (Grace); Susan McGilvary (Mark); James Gilb (Maria); David Gilb (Sara); Stephen Gilb; Linda Zimmer; Karen Featherstone (Paul); Denise Barthelmy (Dan); Daniel Gilb (Betty); Gary Gilb (Patricia); Jeffrey Gilb (Brenda); Matthew Gilb (Debra); and numerous great nephews and nieces. For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Monsignor Gilb three of his favorite charities were Little Sisters of the Poor, 2100 South Western, San Pedro, CA 90732-4331; the Los Angeles Archdiocese Priest Retirement Fund, 3424 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010; and the Monsignor Eugene A. Gilb Tuition Fund at the Saint John Fisher School, 5448 Crest Road, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275. 2 .

  • Vol 2, No 50 Cardinal James Mcintyre Retires
    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 2 Fr John E Boll, Diocesan Archivist No 50 CARDINAL JAMES FRANCIS McINTYRE, THE WEST’S FIRST CARDINAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Printed in the January 22, 1970 issue of the Catholic Herald Photo by Corbis.com Cardinal James McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles James Francis Cardinal McIntyre, archbishop of Los Angeles since 1948, who is known as the archconservative of the American hierarchy, has retired according to an announcement made by the Vatican on Wednesday. Pope Paul VI accepted the resignation of the 83 year-old cardinal for reasons of age. The cardinal had served his archdiocese for eight years longer than the recommended retirement age of 75 which had been fixed by Pope Paul VI. Vatican sources announced that automatically succeeding Cardinal McIntyre as archbishop of Los Angeles, one of the largest jurisdictions in the United States, is Archbishop Timothy Manning, formerly bishop of Fresno and now coadjutor bishop in Los Angeles with the right of succession. Frequently involved in headline making disputes with clergy and religious of a liberal bent, the cardinal is praised by Catholics of many viewpoints for his consistent endeavors to raise the standard of Catholic education in his archdiocese. A native of New York, Cardinal McIntyre, who will remain a member of the College of Cardinals, will be 84 on June 25. He was named archbishop of Los Angeles in 1948 and was made a cardinal by Pope Pius XII in 1953. Cardinal McIntyre has been one of the leading conservatives in the American church, a stance which often led to controversy with liberal elements of his archdiocese.

  • About 59 Years Ago, Maria Regina Parish Did Not Exist. It Was Ultimately
    About 59 years ago, Maria Regina Parish did not exist. It was ultimately located on a five acre lot in the center of a residential area known as Johnson Ranch, close the Gardena alley Airport. The parish was established by Cardinal James Francis McIntyre, who gave it the name ‘Maria Regina’, “Mary Queen of Heaven.” The name was chosen because, in 1954, Pope Pius XII had added to the many titles of Mary, the Mother of God, the honor of “Mary, Queen of Heaven.” Maria Regina Parish includes the faithful from North Gardena, Hawthorne and Los Angeles County. Cardinal McIntyre exercised great leadership in Southern California and is still recognized for his courage in establishing and building so many parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Cardinal McIntyre, a New Yorker and Wall Street genius, appointed Fr. Michael Casey as the first Pastor of Maria Regina. Fr. Casey was given 5 acres of land, vacant property right next to a large area of wetlands that extended to Western Avenue to the East. When they had heavy rains, many frogs appeared. The Parish was formed in 1956 in the Northwest area of the City of Gardena at a time when the community was growing rapidly. Another Catholic Church, along with a Catholic school, to accommodate the increasing number of families who were coming to THe Parish was formed in 1956 live in Gardena. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Maria Regina Church and School took place in August 1957. Fr, to accommodate the increasing Casey blessed the site and turned the first spade of earth in the presence of approximately 300 parishioners.
