OC CATHOLIC RADIO: WALK FOR LIFE 2023 AT CHRIST CATHEDRAL

Welcome to another episode of Orange County Catholic Radio, featuring host Rick Howick. On this week’s show, we leave the safety and comfort of our studio and brave the outdoor elements. Actually, it was quite a lovely day when host Rick Howick and program producer Jim Governale made the outdoor trek to speak to the many faithful who were enjoying their time at the annual Walk for Life event on the Christ Cathedral campus. The morning began with a rosary, followed by a talk by Kathleen Domingo, the Executive Director for the California Catholic Conference. What followed was an inspiring multi-lingual outdoor Mass. Then, it was a procession where the faithful followed behind the Blessed Sacrament while carrying signs promoting respect for human life – from the womb to the tomb. This inspiring event was sponsored by our local chapter of the Knights of Columbus!
