New Hampshire faith leaders will start a trek from Manchester to Dover in a four day “Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice” on August 22. They will pray at St. Anne-St Augustin, 382 Beech St., at 9 a.m. then walk to the Norris Cotton Federal Building, 275 Chestnut St., where immigrants have I.C.E. hearings, and from there begin their 4-day trek to Dover.
Father Samuel Fuller, OFM Cap, a Franciscan Friar serving at St. Anne-St. Augustin, Manchester’s most diverse parish, said “Our walk will mirror the trip an immigrant who is detained by I.C.E. takes from the Federal Building to the Strafford County Jail and possible deportation. Sadly, this is a journey several of our parishioners have already made in shackles and in fear.”
The Solidarity Walk is being planned by the many faith groups that have held prayer vigils outside the Norris Cotton Federal Building over the past year.
