Day of Pentecost
Sunday May 28
Wear RED today – embody the flame of Pentecost! Why is Pentecost important? Because it is the beginning of the Christian Church and reminds us how Jesus’ promise that God would send the Holy Spirit was fulfilled.

LA Pride – Sunday June 11, 11am – 2pm!
Gather with your friends in The Episcopal Diocese of LA to march in the historic LA Pride Parade in Hollywood.
Join us as we gather with former Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori to stand up to injustice, model God’s unconditional love for all people and celebrate the beautiful diversity that makes the LGBTQIA+ community so essential and vital to the Episcopal experience.
We will be gathering in our staging area at 10AM. Our contingent will include a flatbed truck with a hydraulic lift to accommodate our friends with mobility challenges.
Please note that due to parade regulations you will not be able to join the contingent along the parade route and we will need to check in all parade marchers in advance of stepping off.
Email gleamlainfo@gmail.com to receive parade details including, staging location, parking and other guidelines.
This work is as critical as it has always been, and we look forward to showing up on parade day to do the work of proclaiming God’s inclusive love for absolutely everyone!!

History of St. Francis
St. Francis church has a long history on the Peninsula.
In 1949, Bishop Bloy gave his blessing for the establishment of a “mission” church on the Peninsula, and the Chapel was completed and dedicated in July, 1952.
