On Memorial Day, Catholics from across Western Washington are invited to gather at St. Leo’s Church for Mass and a Eucharistic procession to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, led by Archbishop Etienne. Immigrant and refugee communities are at the heart of our Church. This procession is a visible proclamation that migrants and asylum seekers are beloved members of our Christian family recognizing that when one part of the body suffers, the entire Body of Christ suffers. This event is part of the Season of Faithful Witness, a national movement of Catholics offering faithful public witness grounded in Catholic Social Teaching in response to the lived experience of our community.
