Calvary Storytellers: Al Ciabattoni

from Calvary Presbyterian Church San Francisco · host Calvary Presbyterian Church San Francisco

Please enjoy the second episode of our new oral history project, Calvary Storytellers, featuring longtime member Alger (Al) Ciabattoni. The son of Italian immigrants, Al has lived in San Francisco for over 60 years. Listen as Al narrates his early years in New Jersey, the family’s cross country move to California, his stint in the army, to his work advocating for disadvantaged populations in his role with the CA Department of Employment. Calvary (and San Francisco) has changed a lot since the 1960s, and Al makes his way through memories and church lore to describe why he's remained a Calvary member for so long.
