Blessing of the Waves

Sometimes we need to count our blessing. Dogs receive blessings in Long Beach at the Haute Parade, the dates at the Date Festival in Riverside County are blessed each year, Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma's Blessing of the Olives happens in Sonoma, Canoga Parks celebrates Dead of the Dead with an annual blessing, and Huntington Beach blesses its waves with a fairly new celebration established in 2008. Organizations involved in the event have included Surfrider Foundation and the Interfaith Council.

Established to honor solidarity with other faith religions the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange hosts Blessing of the Waves, an inter-religious community event to show spiritual appreciation for the ocean and all that it gives the planet and its population. This gathering demonstrates concern for a cherished environment already compromised by the effects of climate change, toxic emissions, and other pollution.
