Celebrating the Season of Creation at Sacred Heart Church: Oakland, CA
October 2nd, 2024
Contributed by Fr. Jack Lau, OMI
Sacred Heart’s GreenTeam (Oakland, CA) and parishioners gathered on the Autumn Equinox and the
International World Day of Peace for a city wide clean up “From Creek to Bay.” We joined with 35 other groups from all over the city, over 500 volunteers! For our part, we collected over 250 Gallons of trash.

After the clean-up, we gathered at Noon at the Hiroshima Peace Garden@Sacred Heart for a prayer service for peace. The Garden is on MLK JR. Way and is part of our public space that is an oasis of peace for all peoples and pets. Preparations are being made now for the Annual Blessing of Pets which will be on October 6th. That will conclude our Parish Celebration of the Season of Creation.
