On Tuesday, September 5, the Trump administration announced the dismantling of the DACA (Deferred Action for Child Arrivals) program and threatened some 750,000 Dreamers with the possibility of deportation and a life in the shadows. By its decision to end DACA, the Trump administration sows uncertainty and anxiety among law-abiding Dreamers, young people who have been able to live productive lives and who call this country home. Their hopes of pursuing opportunities for a brighter future have been dimmed, if not entirely extinguished. We stand with the Dreamers and will defend them against this attack!

Please note: If you are interested in this pilgrimage, please note that it may not be for you since there is more walking than usual. In Assisi there are hills to be climbed that are generally not part of a pilgrimage to Assisi.
Also, the ability to keep up with the group is important. Walking in New York is one thing, walking in Assisi is more challenging. In Rome also, there are some sites that are generally not part of most pilgrimages, e.g., the Franciscan Church of Santa Maria Aracoeli with 124 steps. Consider this when making your plans.
Monday-Friday, August 21-25, 2017
