On Saturday, January 21, 2023, Orthodox clergy, monastics, and faithful from around the West Coast joined the annual Walk For Life in San Francisco, California. The Western-American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia was represented by the Secretary of the Diocese, Dean of Holy Virgin “Joy of All Who Sorrow” Cathedral, Archpriest Peter Perekrestov.

The Walk For Life West Coast proclaims that every life is precious and must be protected: “Every human being is created in the image of God, every human life is a free gift of the Father, from Whom comes every good and perfect gift.”

For the Orthodox participants, – the biggest Orthodox turnout ever for this event, ¬– the Walk began with a moleben for all the victims of abortion. It was served on the square in front of San Francisco’s City Hall by the Holy Trinity Cathedral Dean and Chancellor of the Diocese of the West (OCA), Archpriest Kyrill Sokoloff.
