Day Eight

Sorry we are so late again. We didn't have access to computer or internet at all yesterday, Sunday, so we are not posting;

Sunday morning, we all went to service at Glide. Although it wasn’t the Catholic mass most people were used to, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The choir sang beautifully and vivaciously! Also, in honor of Pride day, they had a nice slideshow, displaying different ways of expressing gay pride.
After service, we were able to march in the Gay Pride Parade with Glide, walking behind the truck carrying the choir. We all held different signs, like “Justice For All,” “God Loves You,” “Glide is Love,” “Shine Your Light,” etc… it was a lot of fun, being able to march down Market street holding our signs for thousands of people to see.
After the excitement of the parade, we made our way over to the Pride festival, where we ended up taking donations for almost 3 hours!! Our collecting started slowing down, as people would blatantly ignore us as they walked past. We got back to St. Agnes around 6 completely exhausted!

Wow!!! I can't believe that you guys were in the parade! That really must have been an experience. I was out of town for the weekend, but if I had decided to go (never have been to the Gay Parade before!)...what a surprise it would have been to see you kids there...

So excited to hear about all your experiences...lots of love to all,
