This month, we’ll dig deeper into refugee experiences. What are our current policies, our historical approach to refugees, and what are some of the lived experiences of these people?

Our speaker this month will be Adam Jarvis, Director of Refugee Services of Catholic Charities in Rochester, MN. We will also talk about some action steps you can take if interested in helping put welcome kits together for refugee families in our area.

This program is sponsored by Light for the World – La Crescent. We are an ecumenical group sponsored through Prince of Peace, Crucifixion, and United Methodist Churches, and the La Crescent Public Library. We invite you to come learn and grow with us through monthly conversations. The focus for 2026 will be on immigration.
