St. James Episcopal Church in Newport Beach celebrates Pride Month beginning with the lighting of the church in rainbow colors each Friday and Saturday evening during the month of June with the exception of June 18 and 19 when it honors Black Lives Matter colors (green, black, red, yellow).
Why do we celebrate Pride Month?
It provides an opportunity for the LGBTQ + community to come together and celebrate accomplishments such as freedom to be themselves and to receive support from allies.
