Diocese of Central New York
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Candor, NY is part of a vibrant rural area in Tioga County, in the central southern region of NY. Immigrant farm workers and our proximity to Ithaca, a sanctuary city, have made the issues facing refugees and other immigrants especially relevant to our community. As with so many places, we have a politically diverse community.
To help better understand and learn about immigration, St Mark’s hosted an information meeting to learn about the law, recent executive orders, local agencies and resources and how this complex situation impacts our communities, our nation and the world. Other faith groups and local residents were invited to join us for a light lunch following our worship.

In Anse-a-Galets, St. Francis pre-school and primary school is preparing kids for the future. Access to education is a constant struggle -- and so vital in creating a thriving future on La Gonâve, Haiti. These kids are learning, growing, and having fun at school. Teachers' salaries, school supplies, and building updates are supported in part due to generous support from our partners at Trinitylagonavepartners.org Presbyterian Church, who are paired with the community of Anse-a-Galets!
La Gonâve Haiti Partners and the Episcopal Church of Haiti join forces to transform lives. We work together to support requested investments in people on the beautiful island of La Gonâve. US partners, like Trinity Presbyterian, help meet the priority needs identified by Haitian partners in 11 communities. Visit lagonavepartners.org to learn more The Diocese of New York
"If they ask why they should come, maybe say: “Because someone told me once . . . Holy Week can change a life.” — Fr. Sammy Wood, Priest in Charge at The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, NYC
From The Angelus (newsletter) In 2002, Renee and I experienced our first Holy Week as Episcopalians in our little parish near my seminary on Boston’s North Shore. That’s where I first experienced Anglican liturgy, where I met one of my most impactful mentors (coincidentally, our preacher for this year’s Triduum at Saint Mary’s), where I met Jesus in a totally new way for the very first time. And it’s where I learned a truth you’ve heard me repeat often of late: Holy Week can change a life. Read on > Iglesia Episcopal Diócesis de Puerto Rico

Prayer Vigil for Immigrants and Border Patrol Officers
The Diocese of Rochester will gather on Good Friday, April 18, at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Rochester Border Patrol Station, to pray for ourselves, our government officials, and those who work for Homeland Security. Our prayer is that we will find the empathy, mercy and courage to recognize and affirm the humanity of all immigrants and their families. There is a fear that our political system is forcing those who work for the government to deny their own humanity as they seek to carry out their jobs of protecting and serving. We gather to reclaim and reconnect the humanity and empathy of all people. The Episcopal Dioceses of Western New York & Northwestern Pennsylvania
