Right here in San Diego, our own Father Robert Crafts and his dedicated crew of volunteers provide services and support to the merchant seafarers who come to our city. Piracy, shipwreck, abandonment and separation from loved ones are just a few of the problems merchant seafarers face. Assist our local effort by donating magazines, knitting scarves and caps, and sending monetary contributions at any time of year to The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, 2083 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., San Diego, CA  92107 or with online gifts. And on Sunday, July 13, take a minute to reflect on these dedicated, lonely seafarers who support our global economy through service and sacrifice, and contribute to your church's loose offering in their name.
