Justice for Immigrants Educational Forum
October 26, 2006
St. Alexander, Milwaukee
This forum will be offered in English and Spanish
Since its founding, the United States has received immigrants from around the world who have found opportunity and safe haven in a new land. The U.S. remains a nation of immigrants grounded in the firm belief that newcomers offer new energy, hope, and cultural diversity.
Our common faith in Jesus Christ moves us to search for ways that favor a spirit of solidarity. It is 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.
To accomplish these goals, the Office of Catholic Social Action is offering educational forums to address immigration and migration issues. A forum will be held on Thursday, October 26, 6:30-8:30 pm, at St. Alexander Parish Hall in Milwaukee. This event is open to the public.
