On All Saints Day, Saturday, November 1, at 10 AM, we invite you to gather with us for a second People’s Mass, this time at the Broadview Detention Center, which remains a central base of the reckless operations by ICE/DHS, and a place where our immigrant siblings face inhumane conditions, separation from their families, and impending deportation. We will again attempt to bring communion to our loved ones who are detained on the inside. All who are present will be invited to receive communion and blessings.

On All Saints Day, we affirm that in Christ there is no separation: the prophets of justice intercede from heaven, those killed by ICE like Silverio cry out for mercy, the detained endure inside, and the people of God stand together outside in prophetic witness.

A People’s Mass, or misa popular, is a Eucharistic celebration that centers the voices of the marginalized and proclaims God’s presence dwelling in all who struggle. Throughout history, outdoor Masses have been held as a sacred and powerful act of solidarity and resistance in moments of severe oppression. This Mass will continue this tradition rooted in the call of our faith to take courageous, nonviolent action when faced with injustice.

Please plan to join us and invite your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues!
