Share the Journey - Gathering & Procession

     Pope Francis launched the 'Share the Journey' campaign to transform the culture of indifference that exists about the 65 million migrants and refugees fleeing violence, extreme poverty, and injustice - to a culture of encounter. ​

Vince Mesi, OFM, pastor of Mission San Luis Rey Parish, Bishop Dolan of the Diocese of San Diego, along with the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops), CRS (Catholic Relief Services), CCUSA (Catholic Charities USA), and Caritas Internationalis invites us to Share the Journey.  Our local event for the San Diego diocese will be: ​
