As believers, we are called to welcome the stranger and to encounter those who are different from us in a spirit of mutual enrichment.  In doing so, the barriers created by misinformation and fears no longer control us. Join  Alessandra Santopadre on  Saturday, November 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at St. Monica Parish hall (6405 de Terrebonne St., Montreal,  H4B 1A8)  and learn about the real experience of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, and about how to overcome the fears that keep us from welcoming our new neighbours.  For information and to register by  November 5, contact Anna at (514) 481-0267 ext. 222 or  [email protected].
