Mission Immersion to the Border

December 9 - 14, 2019

The U.S.-Mexico border has become a lightning rod for discord and polarization in our nation. But there is a human story here that needs to be told. Join Maryknoll as we tour the border and meet the players on the front lines of the immigration issue. Come with Maryknoll in partnership with the Columban Fathers and join in the celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Experience God's joy with our sisters and brothers as we visit them in the ordinary circumstances of their lives.

Come with Maryknoll in partnership with the Columban Fathers where in the spirit of Evangelii Gaudium we will explore how we are linked to the people of Mexico in bonds of global solidarity. Join in the celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Learn from our brothers and sisters as we visit them in the ordinary circumstances of their lives.
