IMMIGRATION:



If you are unsure of how you can help, you can join the Sisters in prayer from home or office at 8 am every Friday morning: 


"Let us pray in solidarity with those women, men and children who gather at the headquarters of the ICE personnel/workers. We pray for understanding and compassion as they work with our immigrant families who are threatened with deportation."

rights of all people. We urge them to create pathways to citizenship for immigrants, provide humane treatment for those in detention, and ensure that immigrant families are not torn apart.
