Grace Cathedral - Outdoor Plaza

Join us to pray and bear witness in response to the government's policy of separating immigrant parents from their children at the border. Some two thousand children have already been separated from their parents. The San Francisco Interfaith Council, in partnership with co-host Grace Cathedral and our faith partners from diverse traditions, will gather in solidarity and prayer at 6:15 pm on Thursday, June 21st at the outdoor plaza of Grace Cathedral. Please encourage your faithful to attend.
If your faith community has issued a statement on this critical issue, you are encouraged to forward it to the SFIC for inclusion on our website.
Please email statements to: cynthiaz@sfinterfaithcouncil.org
