EYES WIDE OPEN COMES TO PALO ALTO
Saturday, May 3, 10am - Sunday, May 4, 6pm, Kings Plaza,
corner of Hamilton & Ramona, Palo Alto. Eyes Wide Open,
the American Friends Service Committee's widely acclaimed
exhibition on the human cost of the Iraq War,
features a pair of boots honoring each U.S. military casualty
from California (about 450), a labyrinth of civilian shoes to
memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict, and a display
exploring the history, cost and consequences of the war.
Individuals, families and friends are invited to honor and
grieve for lost loved ones and strangers, near and far. The
exhibit creates a sacred place for prayer, meditation, reflection,
sorrow and commitment to build a world of peace. Most of
the time the vigil area is silent, with occasional quiet prayers,
music, and conversation. Learn more
about the exhibit or volunteer for a 2 hour shift
with a team of 4 at the exhibit.

bring Catholic values to proposed legislation. You can become
better informed and help affect the process at key times by
signing up to receive electronic news letters and action alerts.

Catholic Bishops or the California Catholic
Conference (the policy arm
of the California dioceses). We can make a difference!
