Coastside churches attend Walk for Life in SF

A busload of more than 30 parishioners from Our Lady of the Pillar and Our Lady of Refuge Catholic churches here on the coastside travelled to San Francisco to participate in the third Walk for Life West Coast on Saturday January 19, 2007. Participants came from all over California and as far away as Washington state and Nevada. Religious, political and school groups, among others, were represented. The local Knights of Columbus enabled the coastside group to attend by arranging for the bus.

The walk was peaceful, well organized and the SFPD were professional and helpful. The pro-choice counter demonstrators made up for their lack of numbers by their volume and costumes but they did not seem too threatening. Not even the woman who spit in my direction. I’m sure she doesn’t live here on the coastside.
