1 Church 1 Family: Catholic Public Witness for Immigrants
The Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, Providence Associates and others came together in solidarity on Wednesday, Oct. 22 for a blessing prayer in the Church of the Immaculate Conception prior to seeing many Sisters and others off via bus ride to Clay County, Indiana.
Those making the trip stopped by the Clay County Courthouse and Clay County Justice Center where they joined many others for the 1 Church 1 Family: Catholic Public Witness for Immigrants prayer vigil rally.
The vigil was part of the National Catholic Public Witness for immigrants, with many events taking place nationwide.
The Sisters joined other as they gathered in prayerful, nonviolent witness to God’s love for migrants near the Clay County Justice Center, which is an ICE detention center.
