The California Swedish Church welcomes new pastor.

Senior pastor Pernilla Håkansdotter Olsson from Västmanland and in more recent years Skåne, was properly received at the Swedish Church last Sunday, Oct. 2, during a beautiful ceremony at the church in San Pedro. Visiting Bishop Sven-Bernhard Fast spoke and around 80 church goers attended a luncheon after the installation. Photographed by: Kerstin Alm.
