St. Francis of Assisi Parish Presents
COOPERATE, COLLABORATE,
OR SIT BY AND WATCH IT HAPPEN:
Moving from Mass Deportation
to Humane Immigration Policy.
Wednesday, July 8th, 2026 @ 6:30-8:30PM,
The Assisi Center, St. Francis Ann Arbor
ALL ARE WELCOME!
REGISTRATION REQUESTED .
William Lopez will share stories based on documenting the harms of deportation in communities throughout the US, discuss the lessons in resiliency and organizing that immigrant communities - often in collaboration with Christian churches - have given to us.
A panel discussion will follow the keynote. We will end by reflecting on how we can collectively develop a better, more humane immigration system.
Join us as we honor Juneteenth — praying, reflecting on freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice for all.
The keynote presenter will be:
William D. Lopez, PhD, MPH
A Parishioner and Clinical Associate Professor, Associate Chair Department of Health Behavior and Health Equity and Faculty Associate, Latina/o Studies Program University of Michigan.
As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, we will reflect on how notable events in US history have shaped US immigration policy, leading to a platform of mass deportation and lack of due process for migrants, in a country founded on waves of mass migrations over two and a half centuries!
Your voice.
Your compassion.
Your action.
Our future.
TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A MORE JUST AND HUMANE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
"For I was a stranger and you welcomed me." - Matthew 25:35

Inspired by the call of The Most Reverend Bishop Boyea to make 2026 the "Year of the Bible," the Tapestry of Promise conference invites you to deepen your understanding of the beautiful way in which Jesus, the Incarnate Word, is prefigured by the events of the Old Testament – a tapestry woven by God from the people and events of the Old Covenant. We invite you to grow in faith through the Sacraments, sacred music, and the dynamic teaching of learned and charismatic speakers.
