San Diego Bishop to wash feet of Ocean Beach homeless
From San Diego-
The Ocean Beach branch of the Episcopal Church is holding a special event this morning – Thursday, April 5th.
The Episcopalian Bishop of San Diego is coming to OB to wash the feet of homeless people in our village. And it’s all being done to raise awareness about the homeless, homelessness, and the homeless population that seem to be “invisible” to the rest of society.
Bishop Jim Mathes will also put on new shoes and socks on them. Legal, medical and social services will also be available.
Where: The Episcopal Church Center, 2083 Sunset Cliffs Blvd, San Diego, in the courtyard
When: Thursday, April 5, 10:00am – 1:00pm
Why: To raise awareness about homelessness and to let our homeless population know they are not invisible; they are loved.
The bishop will wash the feet of homeless people and put new shoes and socks on them. We’ll also connect them with legal, medical and social services to help with permanent change in their lives.
