Holy Week Pilgrimage for Immigrants 2013

[RCCAtl]

 

The Holy Week Pilgrimage for Immigrants is an act of faith, solidarity, and hospitality; it is a prayer with feet. With our feet, we pray that our faith communities and nation will search for ways that favor a spirit of solidarity with and justice for immigrants. We walk by a faith that transcends borders and bids us to overcome all forms of discrimination and violence so that we may build relationships that are just and loving. Lead Organizer is PJ Edwards 770-312-7718,[e-mail]
