Happy #FatherGregDay ! Not only is it Father G’s birthday, but it’s the first official city holiday celebrating his work and impact in our community.

As we say here at Homeboy, WE’RE GLAD YOU WERE BORN! 😀🫶

LA City Council made it official—today is #FatherGregBoyle Day! A fitting tribute to a Los Angeles hero who has helped thousands change for the better. Today we celebrate second chances and the great work of Homeboy Industries.

Throwing it back to 1991 - Father G pictured with friends from Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights.

Did you know that Father G served as the pastor from 1986 to 1992?

In 1988, they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries. 🫶

In 2022, Father Greg celebrated 50 years of Jesuit service. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1972, and this commitment catalyzed his calling to walk alongside the most marginalized in our community in kinship, love and exquisite mutuality.

Thank you Father G, for all you do.

Father Greg’s birthday is this Sunday, May 19th! 🎉🥳 This week, we’ll be posting throwbacks in honor of G’s birthday!

Feel free to share birthday wishes in the comments, and we will pass them along. 😀

“My job isn’t to fix to rescue or to save. It is to accompany, see people, listen to them.”
