Civic Academy on Immigration

Posted Jul 14, 02:25 PM

We had a great turnout for the Civic Academy on Immigration!

93 people turned out to learn and discuss the issue of immigration. There were a variety of opinions raised in our discussions, and even though not all agreed with each other, there was a sense of respect and openness for all who gathered. This is the first of many opportunities to be offered at St. Patrick to go deeper with the issue of immigration. For the Church’s response to immigration you can go to these websites:
