A Los Angeles priest is on a new mission. In addition to preaching the gospel & saving souls, the Reverend John Lasseigne is now on a mission to save his parishioners from foreclosure. The 44-year-old priest at Mary Immaculate Church says many of his church members have been hit hard by the foreclosure crisis & he has decided to take action. Praying for his flock, lobbying politicians and negotiating with lenders, are daily tasks on Lasseigne's agenda. After uniting with nonprofit groups and 3 neighboring churches, Lasseigne started financial workshops for homeowners. Hundreds of families signed up & numerous success stories are told daily, but that doesn't stop the priest to continue lobbying congressmen, councilmen and corporate executives for laws, funds & loan reductions.
