Migrant Ministries Fair & Postcard Party
September 14, 2025 12:30pm
Gather in the Great Hall at 10 am for a conversation with Mary Rothwell Davis, Vice Chancellor for Immigration and Refugees for the Episcopal Diocese of New York (live streamed).
After the 11 am service (around 12:15 pm), stay for Coffee Hour in the Great Hall and take part in:
-
Postcard Project — Write postcards to elected officials in support of H.R. 1061/5.455, advocating for sanctuary protections for houses of worship, with guidance from the Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations.
-
Meet Partner Organizations — Connect with New Sanctuary Coalition, Open Hands Legal Services, El Barrio Angels, and TransLatina Network. Discover ways to get involved — from court accompaniment and translation to advocacy and direct support.
-
Backpack Assembly — Help pack school supplies for migrant families. Backpacks will be distributed at the Row Hotel on Wednesday, September 24 at 3 pm. Click here to sponsor a backpack or sign up to volunteer.
-
Taste & Celebrate — Enjoy homemade baklava from Eat Offbeat, a catering company powered by refugee and immigrant chefs.
This is just the beginning. In the weeks ahead, we’ll share more opportunities to walk alongside our migrant neighbors — together in hope and solidarity.
