Amidst a sea of white crosses, a memorial service was held at St. Columba Catholic Church on Sunday to commemorate the lives lost to homicides in the city this year.
The church's mission, as stated on their website, is to display crosses on their front lawn as a source of comfort for the families of Oakland homicide victims and to draw community attention to the issue of violence in our streets and the need for additional resources to address the problem.
