Hundreds of mariachis participate in an annual procession in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles in honor of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music.

The musicians attended an open-air Mass celebrated by Msgr. John Moretta, who also called on the mariachis to unite for the first time on Dec. 7 to sing at an L.A. Archdiocese Mass honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe.
