What is the church’s role amid ongoing forced migration? What is its role amid the increasing number of deportations? In this webinar, Dr. Leo Guardado will examine the controversial tradition of sanctuary that existed in canon law until the 1980s, which continues to inspire creative ways for welcoming and protecting migrants. In the 1980s during the Sanctuary Movement, churches not only provided refuge, but schools and universities also did. There is a need to continue to explore what it means to be a “community of sanctuary” for the years to come. Dr. Guardado will weave these themes with the Lasallian educational charism and invite reflection related to Lasallian schools, communities and ministries.
