Each year near All Souls day, hundreds of faithful gather at the United States-Mexican border with the local bishops to celebrate the Eucharist and bring a sacrament of unity and life to a place marked by division and death. Some of you have joined us on this journey in 2019. This year, the staff of the Curia and the Immigration Task Force are, once again, organizing a Pilgrimage to the Border centered around the Mass at the Border. In this time of deep division in our country concerning immigration we are inviting groups of local Catholic High Schools and Parish Youth Ministries to be a part of this powerful message of solidarity with our local migrant community and our brothers and sisters at the border.
