Holy Hour for Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum-Seekers

On the Feast of Saint Juan Diego, the Diocese of San José will join dioceses across California in a unified Day of Prayer for and with our brothers and sisters who are immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers. All are invited to a special Holy Hour of prayer for Immigrants on Tuesday, December 9, the Feast of St. Juan Diego, at 7:00 PM at Holy Cross Church (580 Jackson St., San José).

 In this busy season of Advent, we pause as a diocesan family to pray for those who live with uncertainty, separation, and hardship due to their immigration status, the color of their skin, or their national background. Guided by the witness of Saint Juan Diego—an Indigenous saint whose humility, courage, and steadfast faith opened the way for God’s tender message of hope—we gather to seek the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and to pray for justice, compassion, and protection for all human brothers and sisters who migrate, seek refuge or asylum in our beloved country.

 Please join us in this time of prayer to the Eucharistic Lord Jesus as we lift up those who long for safety, dignity, and peace. All are welcome to pray with us.
