Sunday, June 27, 2021 - Three Ports of Call on Our Journey of Service & Advocacy

Last week members of our community received a new prayer authored by Fr. Steven Bell to spiritually commemorate the promulgation of Juneteenth as a US federal holiday. Find the full prayer on our Racial Justice advocacy plaza.

You generously responded to a request for support for the Catholic Charities Respite Center in McAllen, Texas. A thank you from Marjorie Clifton with photos from their pilgrimage of service awaits you at our Immigration advocacy plaza.

Over recent days, we've prayed for religious freedom and in particular for several special intentions. Please join us as we pray that ~

• God will continue to grant Catholic institutions the wisdom and courage to serve a world suffering the effects of the COVID pandemic

• Children waiting to be placed in a loving home and the caregivers who serve those children will find strength and support from the Church

• The dignity of all people, including people of faith, will be respected in our country

• The hearts of those who seek to harm Christian churches may be changed
