In light of the recent wildfires and the challenges faced by so many in Los Angeles, this year’s OneLife LA event will look a little different. Instead of the traditional walk, the entire event will take place at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 1PM.

This adjustment allows us to come together as a community in a sacred space while easing the strain on local law enforcement and safety personnel. Let us unite in prayer and mission with other students and communities from across Southern California as we stand for the dignity of every human life.

Please register to help us know how many seats we will need to keep together. Please bring your own lunch and meet us in the CC Courtyard at 11AM for food and fellowship before we depart for the Cathedral at 12:15PM.
