As the parishioners of @SacredHeart Oakland and Pax Christi North California prepared to go out into the Longfellow Neighborhood in North Oakland, we gathered for an interfaith prayer in front of the Hiroshima Peace Garden @ Sacred Heart. This garden is an oasis of peace for the wider community.

 

We collected over 300 gallons of trash, not including tires and larger items that were dumped in our neighborhood.
