Sharing 100 Years of History. Celebrating her 100th birthday, which coincided with the Centennial Festival Eucharist of the Diodese of Los Angeles, Isabella Smith, parishioner of St. George's Church in Riverside, California, is greeted by the Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey. The congregation of 10,000 sang Happy Birthday to Smith, who was born in Scotland on May 26,1896, the same day the Diocese of Los Angeles held its first convention.
