Immigration is a hot topic, but public policy debates overlook the dreams, talents and characters of individuals leaving their homelands. Fortunately, we can learn more from the migrants who live among us. Recently, more than a dozen Good Shepherd and Blessed Sacrament parishioners studied immigration’s big picture together in a class. It reminded us that Jesus was a migrant. And, we were called to promote understanding, love and justice for all God’s people. We aim to answer that call to action by meeting some migrants in our community. Please click title for more details.
