PHOTOS: Faith, hope, and healing shine at OneLife LA amid southern California fires
Approximately 3,000 people gathered for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ 11th annual OneLife LA on Saturday. While previously held as a walk through the streets of Los Angeles, the event was moved to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown L.A. due to unhealthy air caused by the region’s wildfires and the acute need of police in other parts of the city.
Unlike the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, which has its exclusive focus on ending abortion, OneLife LA lists a wide range of focus areas: pro-life issues, homelessness, human trafficking, end-of-life care, foster care and adoption, the environment, the disabled, and “racism immigration.”
The purpose of this year’s event, according to organizers, was to “unite in a sacred space as a family of God in prayer, healing, and hope as the devastating wildfires continue through Southern California.”
