"Working with people gives me the greatest enjoyment."

Monsignor Arthur Hoquin stands next to one of the original walls of Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano, on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 22, 2009, in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. Hoquin has presided over the mission, founded by the Spanish in 1776, for the last six years. “The best part of my job is the sacraments, the direct ministry to people like baptism, confession, presiding over marriages and certain celebrating mass,” Hoquin said.

"There's always something new." "The nuns are my favorite." "I'm so high." "Lemurs always forgive you." "Working with people gives me the greatest enjoyment." "Me gusta mucho mi trabjo." "Some have zero visibility."
