As the United States continues to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, St. Austin Catholic Church and School, in partnership with the Diocese of Austin, invites you to Honoring the Many Journeys that Shaped America, a special service of prayer and reflection.

Honoring the Many Journeys that Shaped America
Saturday, October 10 | 10 a.m.
St. Austin Parish, Austin (2026 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78705)
 
Our nation has been shaped by many journeys: by people who came seeking safety, opportunity, freedom, and a place to call home, and by those who were forcibly brought to this land. These stories are not only part of our past. They continue in generations of families and communities across our country today.
 
Through scripture, prayer, personal testimonies, and music, we will hear voices of struggle, faith, resilience, and hope. Together, we will remember the dignity of every human person and consider what our faith asks of us as we respond to the realities of migration and the experiences of our neighbors today.
 
The service will conclude with an invitation to the "Cabrini Pledge," calling us to encounter our migrant and refugee neighbors, deepen our solidarity with them, and carry our prayer into action.
 
Join us as we pray for our country, honor the people and journeys that have shaped it, and consider how we are called to help shape its future.

A reception will follow after the prayer service.
