World Day of Migrants & Refugees Presentation & Dialogue

In an effort to help better educate our parish on the issue of Migrants & Refugees, we invite you to our Zoom presentation and dialogue on Sunday, September 25th, the day Pope Francis has designated for awareness. 
Use this link to join at 2:30 PM: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87107148916

Presenters:
Sophia Genovese, NM Immigrant Law Center
Elijah Martinez, Albuquerque Faithworks
Ruben Garcia, Annunciation House, El Paso
Michael Villavicencio, a seminarian from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe who worked with migrants in El Paso  - Juarez

During this session our presenters will help us understand and define the terms we often use such as immigrant, migrant, refugee, asylum seeker, and DACA.

• We will get an overview of the present situation in terms of both numbers and legal process. 
• We will hear what happens at the border when a migrant, refugee, or asylum seeker is admitted, including what the process entails.
• We will learn more about what is going on in Albuquerque to help in this process when a refugee, migrant, or asylum seeker arrives in our community.

There will be time allotted for questions. Immigration is the theme for our parish's Social Concerns Committee this year. Please join us and invite your friends who might be interested!
