10 a.m.
Missouri State Capitol Grounds (Jefferson City, MO)
Bishop Ralph B. O'Donnell warmly invites the faithful and all those who wish to come together in prayerful solidarity and support for migrants, immigrants, and refugees.
As Catholics, people of goodwill, and followers of Christ, we are called to recognize and uphold the God-given dignity of every human person, which transcends nationality and immigration status. The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that “the dignity of the human person is rooted in creation in the image and likeness of God” (CCC 1700).
This Public Witness is intended to be a peaceful and prayerful gathering that raises awareness of the Church’s teaching on immigration and expresses compassion, hope, and solidarity with our migrant brothers and sisters.
Please mark your calendar.

Key Details:

Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026
Time: 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. – Prayer service at the Missouri State Capitol Rotunda
Optional pre-event: 9:00 a.m. Rosary and procession from St. Peter Catholic Church to the Capitol
Location: Missouri State Capitol Rotunda, Jefferson City, Missouri
Hosted by: Diocese of Jefferson City, Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri and El Puente Hispanic Ministry
