Welcome to the Posadas Project

Posadas Project seeks to promote the celebration of Las Posadas and to dedicate this Advent to the hospitality and solidarity called for in Justice for Immigrants: A Journey of Hope, the Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform.

"Our common faith in Jesus Christ moves us to search for ways that favor a spirit of solidarity. It is a faith that transcends borders and bids us to overcome all forms of discrimination and violence so that we may build relationships that are just and loving."
- from "Strangers No Longer, Together on the Journey of Hope," A Pastoral Letter from the Catholic Bishops of Mexico and the United States.

Posadas Project invites you to learn about and to participate in Las Posadas in your community, or in a community near you.

This site contains information on locations where to celebrate Las Posadas and a forum designed to help people celebrate las posadas more richly. Share the wealth by going into the Posadas Project Forum!

Prayer for Immigrants

Blessed are You, Lord Jesus Christ.

You crossed every border between Divinity and humanity

to make your home with us.

Help us to welcome you in newcomers, migrants and refugees. 

Blessed are You, God of all nations.
You bless our land richly with goods of creation

and people made in your image.
Grant that we will be stewards and peacemakers,

who live as your children.
Blessed are You, Holy Spirit.
You work in the hearts of all to bring about harmony and goodwill.

Strengthen us in human solidarity and in hope. 

God of all people, grant us

vision to see your presence in our midst,

especially in immigrants. 

Give us courage to open the door to our neighbors and

grace to build a society of justice.
