The Archdiocesan Immigration Task Force has developed a new initiative, an effort to peacefully and prayerfully stand in solidarity with our immigrant and refugee sisters and brothers.

We are encouraging people to go and pray – either outside of the Butler County Jail (where ICE detainees are being held) or the ICE office in Blue Ash.

You can find all of the information on this webpage – Praying in Solidarity – but, simply put, this is an opportunity for groups – no matter the size, faith tradition, or frequency – to stand in witness to and solidarity with those who are being affected by the “climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement.” US Bishops Special Message on Immigration.

This is prayer, not a protest, so no signs/posters. People will be standing together, witnessing and praying in solidarity.

On the webpage, you’ll find forms to fill out if you’re looking to organize an event, whether one-time or repeated, as well as one to give feedback after your event(s).

To kick this off, the ITF will be meeting on the 4th Monday of every month at 12:30pm outside of the Blue Ash ICE office. All are welcome.

Monday, Jan. 26, February 23, March 23, and so forth, 12:30pm

Blue Ash ICE Office – 9875 Redhill Dr., 45242

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Inspired by the Christ in the Eucharist and following the Eucharistic Congress, we are celebrating a Eucharistic Year of Mission. To showcase the amazing work of Catholics in the Archdiocese, we launched a webpage, www.catholicaoc.org/yearofmission, to promote several events, programs, and stories of mission and action. For this Year of Mission, we are:

  • Celebrating a Year of Mission Mass, an occasion for a plenary indulgence for the Jubilee Year of Hope, on Ascension Sunday, June 1st
  • Relaunching the 2015 Food for All Campaign, which includes a year-long food drive and letter-writing opportunity to promote the Farm Bill
  • Promoting Parish Ministry Fairs and the Love in Action principle of Beacons of Light
  • Year of Mission stories in the Catholic Telegraph

Please visit www.catholicaoc.org/yearofmission for more details and information. Contact Jillian Foster at jfoster@catholicaoc.org with any questions.
