Leaders at Cultural Diversity Convocation Send Letter of Support to Arizona Bishops on Immigration

Archbishop Gregory: Christ the Foundation of our Unity, Diversity a Gift God has Fashioned into the Heart Of Humanity

Convocation Responds to Dramatic Demographic Shifts and Quest for a Robust Catholic Identity

By means of a process that includes celebration, prayer and worship, interaction, information, story-telling, inspirational moments with time to consider possible implications and next steps in the building of greater ecclesial unity in diversity.

In pursuit of the Catholic Bishops' priority on recognition of cultural diversity in the Church and to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the successful Encuentro 2000 in Los Angeles at the dawn of the Third Millennium, this Convocation offers a historic opportunity to renew and move forward with the project of catholicity and unity in diversity celebrated then.
