Loving Our Neighbors...

Sometimes loving our neighbors means looking out for those who may be most vulnerable in our community. Join us for a conversation about simple ways we can support and protect older adults, recognize when someone may need help, and learn how small acts of care can make a big difference.    Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, @ 10am-12noon in the Assisi Center, please join us for this important training to highlight the simple, practical ways people can check in on older adults, notice when someone might need help, and connect them to support.   This is really about how we, as a community, can look out for and support vulnerable neighbors.   Sign-Up to RSVP here:  https://stfrancisa2.wufoo.com/forms/loving-our-neighbors    Seniors in Washtenaw County Michigan are safer than seniors in other areas especially because of this great advocacy work by Catholic Charities, Rachael Dawson-Baglien, Senior Resource Manager - Senior Resource Connect.

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.

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.

How did we get here?

• Family separation.
• Deaths in detention.
• US citizens killed in Minneapolis. 
• A war of words between the President and Pope. 

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

ALL ARE WELCOME!
