The San Francisco G.A.A. community along with wider Irish Community in the San Francisco region are in shock today as news emerges of the death of 6 visiting Irish students and the serious injury to 7 more, in a horrific accident overnight in Berkeley. We offer our prayers and sympathy to their families and friends at this time.
The Irish Consul, Philip Grant and Vice Consul Kevin Byrne are working to help with the situation. The number for people in Ireland to call is+353-1-418-0200 and the San Francisco number is (415) 392-4214. The staff of the Irish Immigration Pastoral Center are also fully engaged in helping and are asking that all J1 students who recently arrived in the area contact home to as soon as possible. A contact number for the Pastoral Center is (415) 752-600 or email celine@sfiipc.org.
