BALDWIN PARK, Calif.—A 38-year-old Baldwin Park priest said he experienced what the Catholic Church is calling a miraculous recovery from a basketball injury will be joined by Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez and other Catholic officials Monday in a news conference at his church.
According to the Archdiocese, Juan Manuel Gutierrez was training at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo in 2017 when he hurt his ankle playing basketball at a nearby gym. The injury worsened over the ensuing days and he was eventually diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon.
