On Friday, nine-time MLB All-Star Clayton Kershaw announced a "relaunch" of another themed day at Dodger Stadium — Christian Faith and Family Day.
"Excited to announce the relaunch of Christian Faith and Family Day at Dodger Stadium on July 30th," Kershaw wrote in a tweet. The Dodgers later confirmed the event and said more details will be released at a later time.
"Join us at Dodger Stadium on 7/30 for Christian Faith and Family Day. Stay after the game to celebrate and be part of a day of worship." the Dodgers official Twitter account wrote. "Stay tuned for more details."
The announcement comes after the Dodgers invited, then uninvited, and then re-invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The group is self-described on its website as a "leading-edge order of queer and trans nuns."

They were initially slated to participate in the Dodgers LGBTQ+ Pride Night, and were set to receive a Community Hero Award at the June 16th game.
Earlier this month, the team decided to rescind the invitation due to backlash.
"Given the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the sisters' inclusion in our evening, and in an effort not to distract from the great benefits that we have seen over the years of Pride Night, we are deciding to remove them from this year's group of honorees."
