JustFaith Screening & Discussion: Beyond Borders

Tuesday, May 26, 2026
6:00-8:30 p.m.

The JustFaith Social Justice Ministry at Holy Family invites you to join us for a powerful evening featuring short, compelling films and a brief presentation by an immigration attorney, Dana Bucin.

Together we’ll explore the human stories and legal realities of immigration today - and consider how we are called to respond through faith, understanding and action.

Attorney Bucin will share insights on current immigration issues, legal rights and options, and how our communities can respond with faith and compassion.

We will gather in the main conference room. For additional information, please contact Andrea Melanson at ammelanson@aol.com or 860-614-8280.

This event is sponsored by the JustFaith Ministry of Holy Family. A free-will offering will be collected to support the Hartford Deportation Defense. No registration required, but we request you RSVP below so we can plan accordingly.
