Jesuit priest to detail border efforts
Catholics interested in the Church’s work with immigrants don’t have to go to the border to learn more — they can go to St. Paul Parish Sept. 20.
Catholics gather for Mass to kick-off Kino Border Initiative last January.
That’s where Jesuit Father Pete Neely will discuss the vital work of the Kino Border Initiative, a collaborative effort serving the physical and spiritual needs of the recently deported.
The Kino Border Initiative is a joint effort among Jesuit Refugee Service/USA, the California Province of the Society of Jesus, the Mexico Province of the Society of Jesus, the Missionary Sisters of the Eucharist, the Archdiocese of Hermosillo and the Diocese of Tucson. The goal is to address the reality of undocumented migration, apprehension, detention and deportation through direct service and education.
The two-hour information session begins at 2 p.m. in the parish’s O’Carroll Hall and is sponsored by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Relief Services.
St. Paul is located at 330 W. Coral Gables Dr. For more information, call (602) 942-3355 or e-mail kejorg@cox.net.
