Social Justice Lenten Project
During the February Sundays of Lent, our community was still honoring Black History Month. In March, we transition our Social Justice focus to more local concerns, specifically, injustices towards immigrants and indigenous peoples.
The Social Justice Ministry is asking the community to make donations in support of Casa De Paz in Denver, CO.
Casa de Paz provides visits, shelter, meals, transportation and emotional support. Since 2012, Casa de Paz has hosted over 3000 immigrants from 70 countries.
|
|
Please make our you donation checks to Mary of Magdala with 'Casa de Paz Lenten Project' on the memo line. Although, you can always give directly to Casa de Paz, donating through Mary of Magdala allows us to more easily track our community’s gift.
Thank you for your support
in this project.
