Tour to put face on deportation

Hundreds of people gathered at St. Georges Catholic Parish in Ontario to call on Congress and the President to act on immigration reform yesterday morning.

Rev. Alexia Salvatierra, a Lutheran Pastor declared “We have one heavenly Father; we are one family. When we hear stories of families separated they are our families. One family under God. What family is a family when a brother turns his back on his sister? A broken family? God is not about broken families.” Rev. Salvatierra also represents the New Sanctuary Movement, in 37 cities where faith communities come together to stand for families.
