For Humane Migration Policies
Over the course of Lent, the Ignatian Solidarity Network invites you to join us as we stand in solidarity with our migrant sisters and brothers. We will provide opportunities for you and your community to accompany migrants in prayer, fasting, and action.
Throughout this challenge we will learn about the policies affecting migration, hear stories from migrants, gain the knowledge and skills to engage in advocacy, and pray together to better embody a church that welcomes, protects, promotes, and integrates the stranger in our midst.
