Description

Orange County's 6th Annual Homeless Persons' Interreligious Memorial Service, A National Day of Remembrance The First Day of Winter. The Longest Night of the Year. Each year, thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness die on the streets of our nation die to illness, exposure or violence. Many from our very own community of Orange County. So far this year we have lost over 380 individuals experiencing homelessness to the streets of Orange County. Please join us as we honor and acknowledge their lives as part of the human family. Oragnized by Our Father's Table, Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, Sisters of Saint Joseph of Orange, Interfatih Network Orange County, Lutheran Church of the Cross, and HomeAid OC. We welcome you to be a part of the "Procession of Candles." You are invited to carry a candle into the Homeless Persons' Interreligious Memorial Service.
