Please join the InterReligious Task Force on Central America on Tuesday, June 24 at Trinity Cathedral for an interfaith prayer service to pray and witness our public support for migrant/refugee families whose human and civil rights are being violated by forcible deportation and incarceration without due process.

This service is planned to run from 11:30 am – 12:45 pm. Faith leaders from the Islamic, Jewish, and Christian traditions will speak, and members of the migrant community will share their experiences. Information tables with resources from a variety of Northeast Ohio groups will also be available.
