Updates from the Border
On Saturday afternoon, January 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM, All Saints Lutheran Church at 4800 All Saints Road in Albuquerque will be hosting a presentation by the Dignity Mission and three keynote speakers from El Paso who are intimately familiar with the current situation at the border. The speakers include Dr. Eva Moya, Professor and Chair of the Department of Social Work at the University of Texas at El Paso; Dr. Georgina Sanchez-Garcia, a visiting Assistant Professor at UTEP and an expert on trauma and resilience among migrant children; and Assumptionist Father Peter Precourt, pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in El Paso which houses a migrant shelter sponsored by the Augustinians of the Assumption.
We urge those of you who live nearby to attend this meeting. There will be time for questions and an opportunity to meet and talk with people with firsthand experience assisting our brothers and sisters fleeing violence and deprivation in their homelands. If you wish to attend in person, please RSVP by calling 505-898-3932 during regular business hours. Those who cannot attend may watch on Zoom by going to https://www.allsaintsabq.org/online-activities/ . Please note this is a different link from the one we distributed earlier. We have also attached a flyer announcing the presentation which you are welcome to copy and distribute.
We look forward to seeing you there.
