Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I've been a busy boy of late! Here's a new mission opening that just happened in the Los Angeles area, featured on Scientology Today.Huntington Park is home to the first Hispanic Scientology Mission in Los Angeles – the Church of Scientology Mission of Huntington Park.
The City has a rich Hispanic heritage dating back to the end of the 18th Century, when a soldier, finding himself in the New World in Alta California, surveyed a vast tract of land – 29,000 acres or 117 Square miles; nearly half the size of Madrid – and claimed it for himself and his personal friend, the king of Spain. Several years later the Mexican government granted ownership of the land to his son, who named it Rancho San Antonio. Los Angeles is a microcosm of the cultural crossroads of American, with people from 140 countries and speaking 96 different languages calling the city home. But Huntington Park, though little more that six miles from downtown Los Angeles, has maintained its cultural roots, with over 95% of its 61,000 residents being Hispanic. The festivities on the day of its grand opening including Mexican music, dancing and piñatas. There were booths up and down the street with good food and entertainment throughout the afternoon.
During the ceremony, an executive from the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles addressed the crowd to let them know that Scientology missions have a special role – to reach out into their communities and help people at a grassroots level. Whether giving a hand to resolve familial upsets, drug abuse, problems with relationships, troubles with co-workers or difficulties raising children, Scientology has effective technology, developed by L. Ron Hubbard, that anyone can learn and apply.
The owner of the Mission's premises, a long-time member of the local Chamber of Commerce and a prominent member of the community, came to the stage to personally acknowledge the new mission. "I know that the church of Scientology Mission of Huntington Park will be an asset to our community by providing the help that is vitally needed here," he said. "With all of us working together, I know that we can create a huge change in Huntington Park."
Alberta Acostal, who established the mission, spoke of something L. Ron Hubbard, once wrote: "My own philosophy is that one should share what wisdom he has, one should help others to help themselves," and said "By putting this new church here, I am ensuring that the people of Huntington Park can and will find solutions to their problems." And with no less than the Mayor thanking the Mission for being there, it was clear to the staff and executives that the whole community had embraced the Mission as a partner in creating a better future for Huntington Park.
