- Martin Luther King, Jr.
YouTube LINK TO WEBINAR
"THE IMMIGRATION CRISIS AND OUR FAITH"

Were you able to join us at one of our presentations in June? We heard from experts in the various areas of immigration and Catholic social teaching and then we were able to ask questions. It was a great opportunity to learn more about what immigrants experience at the border and how immigrants impact our society.

If you missed the presentation, we've got good news for you! We created a YouTube video that you can watch and share with others.

Below you will find the link to the 60 minute webinar "The Immigration Crisis and Our Faith" that was given on June 20th and June 23rd. Feel free to share it with your fellow parishioners, friends and family!


Some have asked for the slides that Kay Sulfaro (Christ Our Light) developed and we used in the webinar. Click here to see them: Presentation Slides
