Our neighbors include many of the world’s most vulnerable people: migrants and refugees fleeing war, poverty and persecution, people who seek nothing more than basic needs and a path forward. Just like us, they are children of God, deserving of dignity and love. We as a church are answering the Pope’s call to encounter and walk with these migrants and refugees in support and solidarity.
Share the Journey
Bishops around the world are joining Pope Francis in launching Share the Journey (Comparte el Camino), a global campaign to support our brothers and sisters who have fled their homes seeking a decent and safe life for their families.
Locally, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe will launch the campaign with a Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis in Santa Fe on Wednesday, September 27, at 7:00 p.m. You are invited to join in this visible demonstration of support for immigrants and refugees. The Very Rev. John C. Wester, Archbishop of Santa Fe, will celebrate the Mass.
This ongoing campaign is sponsored in the U.S. by the The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services Counterpart organizations are sponsoring the campaign in other countries.
Share the Journey provides opportunities to act and pray by providing a host of resources, including Prayers, information about the Church Teachings on Migrants and Refugees, Videos, Activities and Reflections, and Recursos En Español.
