The recent synodal process has encouraged Catholics to engage in a Culture of Encounter, which entails deep listening. With an open heart, this deep listening allows us to receive the hopes and aspirations, pains and struggles of our brothers and sisters seeking justice. In response, we commit to accompany these communities and invite you to join others for a day of camaraderie, listening, learning and action in our struggle for justice for immigrants. There will be opportunities to hear from immigrant communities, get updates on current immigration issues and celebrate our diverse traditions. Specific workshops will address mental health, advocacy, legal issues and refugee sponsorship. The day will conclude with participation in an interfaith and ecumenical town hall.
