Prayerful Witness for Immigrants

On November 13, 2025, Catholics across the U.S. are invited to join in a national day of prayer and public witness for our immigrant brothers and sisters. Throughout the state of Ohio, there will be a multitude of in-person gatherings on this day—the Feast of St. Frances Cabrini (patroness of immigrants). Our central locations in the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland will be:

• Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist | Cleveland | 6:30pm
