Let’s Put Our Faith in Action Together
Our immigrant brothers and sisters need more than resources and statements—they need us. They need a community rooted in faith, standing in solidarity with them, and advocating for short and long-term solutions to various obstacles they face. Together, as the Body of Christ, we are called to be their companions, their advocates, and their hope.
Join us in this mission—take action today and be a witness of Christ's love and justice in our community.
Our parish seeks to form a group to support immigrant and refugee communities through prayer, education, outreach, legislative action, and community organizing. Examples of involvement include, but are not limited to:
-
Facilitating "Know Your Rights" presentations and reporting human rights violations.
-
Creating a rapid response support network that is trained and ready to act in case of ICE presence in the community.
-
Helping families develop an emergency plan in case of deportation.
-
Dissiminating important information, resources, and tools
-
Engaging with local and federal elected officials, and more.
If you're interested, please contact our social justice coordinator to learn more, ask questions, and explore how you might get involved.
