USA Province celebrates Marist Refugee Awareness Week

This week the Marist Brothers USA Province and all Marist schools around the USA celebrate Marist Refugee Awareness Week. The Marists in United States remember in prayer and solidarity the more than 65 Million worldwide Refugees, half of who are children.

They remember especially the Encuentro Project in El Paso, Texas, recently opened by the USA Province in conjunction with the Province of Mexico Occidental. The project offers both assistance to the thousands of refugees arriving at USA boarder as well as the opportunity for many church and school groups to live at Annunciation House for a week and learn first hand the difficult realities of our Refugee Brothers and Sisters.
