Priest, religious take up Lenten fast for ‘Dreamers’
Priests for Justice for Immigrants and the Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants introduced “United in the Cross of Christ with Dreamers,” a 40-day Lenten fast, that will encourage priests and religious brothers and sisters, and their congregations, to stand in solidarity with “Dreamers” during a press conference at Holy Name Cathedral on Feb. 12, 2018.
