On October 4th, the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride rally attracted close to 100,000 people from all over the USA to Flushing Meadows Park in New York to protest the current treatment of many groups of immigrants to our country.

Religious (Cardinal Egan, Bp. DiMarzio), political, labor, and social leaders spoke on behalf of the need to rethink our immigration policies and practices. Many confreres from the NY area attended this rally, with a large contingent from our House of Discernment (Casa San Vicente) and our House of Formation (Vincentian Community).
