SAN DIEGO — Cardinal Robert W. McElroy urged people of faith “to speak up and proclaim that this unfolding misery and suffering, and yes, war of fear and terror, cannot be tolerated. To say, ‘Go no further.’”
The San Diego Diocese is presenting a prayer service and procession to speak up about how Trump Administration policies are hurting the most vulnerable, or are on track to do so, and to pray for God’s mercy to accompany the affected families.
The bilingual event, titled “Journeying with Immigrants, Defending the Vulnerable,” will be held on Saturday morning, April 12, in the east area of Waterfront Park, next to the County Administration Building.
The event is to begin at 10 a.m., with a prayer service that includes Scripture readings and public testimonies. Afterward, there will be a procession to the federal building on Broadway and Front streets, where there will be a vigil at 11:15 a.m., with the event ending around noon.
The prayer service is co-presented with the San Diego Organizing Project. Auxiliary Bishop Ramón Bejarano will be on hand, and priests, deacons, religious women, and ministry leaders are invited, as well as all faithful.
The event is being held on the day
