Immigration from a Gospel Perspective

MOJ readers in the New York area may want to find their way to St. Igantius Retreat House in Manhasset this evening at 7:00 p.m., where Mark Hallinan, S.J., will be giving a talk on Immigration from a Gospel Perspective.  Hallinan is the Assistant for Social Ministries of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus and is on the Jesuit Commission for Social and International Ministries which coordinates the work of the Jesuits in the United States on domestic and international social problems.  He has kept abreast of immigration developments and will articulate the gospel perspective on the present situation that is often left out of current debate.  Natalie Blaney, a counselor for immigrants in NYC will respond to Fr. Hallinan's comments.
