Surfer and Catholic priest Tom Munoz joins scores of people on the beach as they sing "God Bless America" at the conclusion of the Fifth Annual Blessing of the Waves at the Huntington Beach Pier on Sunday. An interfaith service sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, the event merges surfing and spirituality. Sunday's event attracted several hundred participants, and featured speakers from the Jewish, Christian, B'hai and Islamic faiths. After the service, about two dozen boarders took to the surf, which measured 3 to 5 feet with fair shape.
