Vigil for Immigrants and Refugees

On February 26, Presentation Students and Sisters Amina Bejos, Edna Fabre and Susan Kilb organized and participated in a vigil for immigrants and refugees in front of Presentation Academy. With the group was Fr. Jim Flynn who has been advocating for immigrants and refugees for a long time. On this day, Catholics were invited to call their federal legislators urging them to pass bipartisan legislation that would allow DREAMers a pathway to citizenship without harming family unity before a day of civil disobedience and presence by Catholic leaders in Washington, D.C.
