 MASS”\n\nMarch 2017 – On Saturday, March 25 at 10:00am, the Right 
 Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop of California, will preside over a 
 “Beach Clean-up Mass” at one of Oakland’s officially designated 
 ‘trash hotspots’ – the East Creek Slough. \n\nThis one-day event is 
 the inauguration of an emerging relationship between Holy Hikes™ 
 (www.holyhikes.org), a Christian hiking group, and San Francisco Baykeeper 
 (www.baykeeper.org), a nonprofit that has been working to protect the San 
 Francisco Bay from pollution. All are welcome to join this unique 
 opportunity to clean the Bay and celebrate a spirituality that recognizes 
 our interdependency with the land and waters. The event will include a 
 celebration of The Holy Eucharist woven into a clean-up of the 
 beach.\n\nThe Rev. Justin Cannon, Rector of All Saints Episcopal Church 
 (www.saintsalive.net), San Leandro, founded Holy Hikes in 2010 and every 
 month leads what he called “liturgical hikes” throughout the Bay Area. 
 Reverend Cannon explains, “During each hike we hold an entire church 
 service with different stations along the hike for readings, prayers, and 
 the Eucharist.” According to its website, Holy Hikes is seeking to 
 restore and nurture our communion with the earth. \n\nSan Francisco 
 Baykeeper has been the Bay's leading advocate since 1989. Baykeeper uses 
 science, advocacy, clean water laws, and on-the-water patrols to help San 
 Francisco Bay thrive.  Sejal Choksi-Chugh, Executive Director and the 
 designated ‘Baykeeper’, comments, “Baykeeper is excited about this 
 new partnership with Holy Hikes to help grow the diverse ecosystem of 
 volunteers and supporters that protect our beautiful San Francisco Bay.  
 Together, we will continue to stand up to the biggest polluters and tackle 
 the greatest threats to the Bay’s health.”\n\nFor directions, to RSVP,
