Walk with us at the Annual Posada for Immigration Reform on Friday, Dec. 19.
The archdiocese’s Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity-Immigration Ministry sponsors the posada pilgrimage symbolizing Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and their traveling from place to place seeking rest and shelter before the birth of Jesus Christ. The Chicago observance is modeled on a centuries-old tradition of posada throughout Mexico and Guatemala and in immigrant communities in the United States. Today’s immigrants, like the Holy Family, are vulnerable, seek legislative shelter and protection but often face rejection.
