Citizenship Application Information and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
Dear friends,
I ask you to disseminate the following information to your congregation and contacts.
In fraternal cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Francis of Assisi's Migrant Center, the Episcopal Church of Our Savior (Episcopal Diocese of New York) in Manhattan is hosting an immigration clinic on Sunday, July 20, from 2 PM to 4 PM to provide information on the following legal issues:
A) Citizenship Application
Providing information to Permanent Residents ["Green Card" holders] on how to apply for US citizenship.
You may have some Permanent Residents in your congregation who might wish to apply for citizenship. While permanent residency is a good thing, non-US residents are not given the full protection of the law. Under some extreme circumstances, they could still be deported even if they have lived in the US since their childhood years.
B) Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
DACA was instituted to defer the prosecution and deportation of undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children.
There may be some in your congregation who are undocumented immigrants and arrived in the US as minors. (They don't have to be minors now but should not now be older than age 31). Under DACA, they might receive protection.
Deportations of non-citizen U.S. immigrants - documented and undocumented - are not only ongoing but are at an all time high.
Sincerely,
The Rev. Noel E. Bordador
Priest-in-Charge

June 14 - "Bridge Committee" Strawberry Festival at All Saints in Great Neck, NY
Dear Friends,
All Saints Church in Great Neck, NY, has formed a "Bridge Committee" to help bridge the ethnic and cultural diversity that exists in our church and in our community.
On behalf of the Bridge Committee, you are invited to our upcoming Strawberry Festival on Saturday June 14 from 10 am until 7 pm, and perhaps later, to continue the wonderful conversation that was begun among those of you who were at the recent Faith Formation Convocation at the Mercer School of Theology.
It should be a fun day.
In addition to a food court, face painting, strawberries, the country store, the Book Nook and the Thrift Shop that will be open, we are holding a SuperPet Contest beginning at 1 pm (so bring along your pets); at 1:30 pm there will be a special presentation by Alice Kasten, a local author who co-authored a book entitled, "Great Neck."
In the evening beginning at 5:30 pm, we will be entertained by a Jazz Pop Group sponsored by the Great Neck Korean Civic Association with dinner served, with a request for donation. The proceeds will go to the Drug Awareness Music Festival which will be held at All Saints at the end of June.
I hope you can join us.
