Sisters pray for immigration reform at rally
Members of the Syracuse-based Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities were among about 300 people who prayed for immigration reform last month during a rally outside Buffalo's St. Joseph Cathedral.

"Singing could be heard for blocks," reported the Buffalo News.

"Our commitment to Catholic social teaching impels us to stand with the poor and vulnerable, to welcome the stranger among us - including immigrants seeking work, a safe home, education for their children, and a decent life for their families," Sister Patricia Burkard, general minister of the Franciscans said in a news release.
