St. Mary’s in Falmouth invites all “Walking Together” parishes and parishioners to join a gathering in celebration and recognition of World Refugee Sunday.
Speakers from Catholic Charities and In Her Presence—both in Portland—will provide an update on recent changes in regulations and management of immigrant resettlement in Maine, discussing the impact of these changes on both their organizations and the people they serve. There will be ample time for questions and conversation following their presentations. Light refreshments will be offered. This event is free of charge.
The Greater Portland community is invited to this event, and the organizers hope that it will serve to clarify, address misinformation and misunderstandings, and offer at least a snapshot of the real-life consequences of these changes for our neighbors in Maine.
Partner “Walking Together” churches are welcome to participate, and please help spread the word in your parishes!
