Toward An Ever Wider “We”
an interfaith prayer service
commemorating World Day of Migrants & Refugees
Sunday, September 26 at 2:00 pm ET via zoom
Sponsored by
Sisters of Charity of New York, Immigration Committee & Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, Department of Social & Community Development
This prayer service is in conjunction with the annual National Migration Week (September 20–26), sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Our theme will focus on the call to people of all faiths, to ensure that after the turmoil of the past two years, we will think no longer in terms of “them” and “those,” but only of “we.”
