Interreligious procession to honor the dignity and sacredness of migrants and refugees
Bishop Pham has called on clergy, religious, and non-denominational leaders to stand together in solidarity with those who have fled war, persecution, and hardship.
“As shepherd of this Diocese here at the border, I have been feeling an increased urgency to call people of faith around values that unite us: all human beings are sacred, no matter where we are born, or where we now live. Too often we let politics divide us and take away our faith-inspired values and our voice. I invite you to walk with me behind a banner that will read something we all know to be true: ‘All are Sacred’.
What would it be like to have 20,000 people of faith all standing and praying with and for our immigrant brothers and sisters? Wouldn’t you like to be part of our group that day? Please join us!”
If you are a leader in faith or community, please share this invitation with your networks. Let’s make this a day of unity, compassion, and visible solidarity for those who are often overlooked.
