Coming Together, 11/19

Ecumenical prayer for peace and transformation.
Our Lady of the Presentation Chapel
Sunday, November 19 from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

Come Together is a movement that began in north Minneapolis churches after the shooting of Philando Castile. Father Paul Jarvis from St. Bridget’s and parishioner Bonnie Steele, who is a St. Kate’s graduate, opened their sanctuary to the neighbors. People have been gathering once a month around the Twin Cities since then.

Come Together isn’t another project to be done for others. It is a transformative gathering with others. Join Come Together Twin Cities and the CSJ Community for song, stories and prayer for peace, for an end to violence; hearts and people who are loved and held tenderly.

Q & A with the filmmaker and students to follow.
