We’re excited to share that our DioCal Pride posters are now available in five languages. Each double-sided poster features Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, or Tongan on one side and English on the other. This project reflects the vibrant diversity of our diocese and our joy in sharing our Christ-centered belief that all people are beloved by God, without exception.
The new signs should be available in time for the San Francisco Trans March Friday, June 26, and the SF Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28. We also plan to distribute them at diocesan events and gatherings throughout the year. If you’d like to pick up signs from DioHouse, contact Canon for Communications [email protected]. In the meantime, all the new designs are available for download on our Posters for Marches and Other Demonstrations page.
This work builds on other recent translation efforts. Earlier this year, we added translation buttons in Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Tongan to all diocesan newsletters. We also partnered with volunteer translators to translate the guiding theme of our Strategic Vision, “Rooted in Christ, bearing fruit for the healing of our world,” for use across diocesan communications.
We are grateful to the following translators for their contributions to these projects:
Ngalu Fusimalohi — Tongan (Strategic Vision and Pride posters)
Madre Anna Lange-Soto — Spanish (Pride poster)
The Rev. Jureck Fernandez — Tagalog (Strategic Vision and Pride posters)
The Rev. Merry Chan Ong — Chinese (Strategic Vision and Pride posters)
The Rev. Pamela Stevens — Spanish (Strategic Vision phrase)
