Church of the Holy Family (Agoura Hills, California)

Holy Family is a sedevacantist Catholic chapel in Agoura Hills, California, United States. It is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The church rejects many or all of the reforms introduced by the Second Vatican Council and follows earlier Catholic rites, including the Tridentine Mass.[1]

Fr Clement Procopio, OFM, a Franciscan priest, was instructed not to offer Mass there by Diocese of Phoenix's Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien. The chapel is supported by the non-profit A.P. Reilly Foundation, which is funded by actor/director Mel Gibson.[2] According to 2008 IRS filings, the foundation's assets, including real property, total $42 million.[3]
