"In the Church, no one is a foreigner." Pope John Paul II
SUNDAY DECEMBER 15th - A profound and special Advent Event!
The steel and barbed wire fence that separates the U.S. and Mexico will become a powerful symbol again this year -- not of division, but of unity and solidarity as pilgrims on both sides of the border will meet in Nogales to re-enact, with music and prayers "La Posada" or journey of Mary and Joseph as they went from house to house, seeking shelter and hospitality on the first Christmas. The ceremony is designed to strengthen social, religious, economic and cultural bonds in both countries and to counter the virulent anti-immigrant sentiment that currently permeates the atmosphere.
Schedule:
3:00 pm - Posada Ceremony begins
4:00 pm - Transporation to Migrant Center Location
4:30 pm - Blessing of future Migrant Center
5:30 pm - Fiesta and sharing with Migrants at Christo Rey Church
7:00 pm - Transportation back to Border entrance and return to Tucson
EVERYONE WELCOME!
