"My CASA volunteering gives my life MEANING and is also FUN.  I can schedule it to suit my calendar.  My CASA youth and I jointly choose what to do, so we both have fun. What else am I doing (work, exercise, movie-going, hanging with friends, travel, hiking, biking, cooking, etc.) that could possibly be as meaningful and satisfying as creating an authentic, warm connection with a young person in need of acceptance?"   - Monica, current CASA Volunteer

A CASA is an advocate for an abused and neglected child in foster care. In a life full of uncertainty and endless change, you can be one consistent and caring adult.

In this Choral Evensong immediately following elections, our traditional service includes the presence of faith leaders from other traditions, and multifaith prayers for the nation. Together in prayer for our country, we can embrace the wisdom of our diverse traditions, and demonstrate that differences can enrich rather than divide us. 

With a special welcome by the Rt. Rev. Austin Rios, this service is also co-sponsored by the San Francisco Interfaith Council. 

One of the treasures of the Anglican tradition, Choral Evensong is a service of sung Evening Prayer. It combines music with readings from scripture, ancient and contemporary prayers, and a brief homily or reflection. The music includes psalms, canticles and an anthem, all sung by the choir, with congregational hymns and an organ prelude and postlude. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity.
