KBI October Announcements

Mark your calendars and reserve your place at the upcoming Tucson fundraiser for the KBI, stream presentations from November’s Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, and sign up to participate in the Campaign for Hospitality. The Jesuit Migration Network, of which the KBI is a part, is sponsoring this campaign, and holds its regional meeting in October, and Father Sean Carroll, S.J., will participate in the Catholic Immigrant Integration Initiative Conference in Los Angeles. Finally, this past month, the KBI hosted three immersions for southern Arizona high schools.

  • Tucson Fundraiser: A Tucson Fiesta for the Kino Border Initiative is coming up! Hosted by board member Luis Dabdoub and his wife Susana Dabdoub, Sunday, October 29 marks the third anniversary of this festive fundraising event that helps keep the KBI’s mission and programming strong. Reservations are limited, so make yours today or send a donation in your stead at: https://www.kinoborderinitiative.org/october-29-tucson-fiesta/. ¡Muchísimas gracias to the organizers, hosts, and guests!
  • Jesuit Migration Network: Early this week, KBI staff members Father Samuel Lozano de los Santos, S.J. and Joanna Williams are participating in a two-day regional meeting in Mexico City of the Jesuit Migration Network of Central America and North America. A consortium of organizations engaging in pastoral support, research, and advocacy, the Jesuit Migration Network focuses on migrant and refugee accompaniment as well as research and advocacy to promote policies that uphold human rights and dignity.
  • Campaign for Hospitality: The Jesuit Migration Network (see above) has launched a new initiative, the Campaign for Hospitality, to engage individuals, schools, and parishes in a concerted commitment to welcome, support, and get to know the migrants and refugees in our midst. Accompaniment takes many forms, and hospitality opens doors to creating communities which honor and value our shared humanity. Already operating among the Spanish-speaking organizations in the network for close to three years, this launch engages the English-speaking parts of the network, and the KBI is a partner in the campaign. To learn more about and join the movement, please go to: https://ignatiansolidarity.net/campaignforhospitality/.
  • Catholic Immigrant Integration Initiative Conference: On Thursday and Friday, October 12 and 13, at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, Fr. Sean Carroll, S.J. will participate in the Catholic Immigrant Integration Initiative Conference, sponsored by the Scalabrinians’ Center for Migration Studies. The focus of the conference is “Strengthening the Catholic Response to Immigrant Integration, Participation, Defense and Empowerment in an Era of Challenges and Uncertainty.” Fr. Sean will speak on a panel in which he will look at “successful models of youth leadership and engagement” and will offer a breakout session on the Kino Teens program.
  • Ignatian Family Teach-In: This year’s Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice is slated for November 4-5 in Washington, D.C. The theme for this Catholic social justice and solidarity gathering, now in its 20th year, is “Rowing Into the Deep: Magis Meets Justice.” Director of Education and Advocacy Joanna Williams will be conducting a large-scale breakout session on the topic of immigration as well as a breakout session with two Loyola Kino Teens. Father Pete Neeley, S.J. the KBI’s Assistant Director of Education, will also offer a breakout session, accompanied by two Lourdes Kino Teens. To find out more about the schedule of speakers and break-out presentations and sign up for livestream reminder, please go to: https://ignatiansolidarity.net/iftj/livestream/.
