5:30 pm to 7:00 pm

Location: Zoom
Host: Franciscan Spirituality Center
Facilitators: Kennedy Cortes, FSPA partner in mission and Julie Helgerson, FSC partner in mission

Virtual presentation about immigration immersion experience.

Do you feel called to learn more about the experiences of our immigrant brothers and sisters? Kennedy Cortes, FSPA communications associate; Julie Helgerson, FSC program and retreat coordinator; and four women spiritually and professionally connected to Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration spent nine days at the U.S.-Mexico border to better understand the experiences of families seeking asylum and others migrating into the United States. They spoke with migrants, aid workers, Border Patrol agents, ranchers and environmentalists—all with different and very nuanced views on immigration. Kennedy and Julie will share their immigration immersion experience and share ways you can become an advocate for people on the move.
