As part of National Migration Week, Saint Procopius, 1641 S. Allport St., seized this opportunity to reflect on the circumstances confronting migrants during a Sunday service dedicated to DREAMers and the passing of Dream legislation. In light of the political climate, Father Gary of St. Procopius Catholic Church preached on the importance of fighting for our immigrant community and calling on Congress to pass permanent dream legislation. DREAMers gave testimonials and shared their stories of resilience and bravery throughout this process. More than 15,000 DACA recipients have since lost their work permits and have become vulnerable to detention and deportation and 122 young Americans lose their DACA status each day.
