For Sisters and Friends in San Antonio, TX and St. Louis, MO we encourage you to attend the following events to celebrate World Refugee Day 2019.
San Antonio
World Refugee Day Art Event
Tuesday, June 18th at 6:00pm
Brick at Blue Star Arts Complex
Join Catholic Charities for an evening of art, entertainment, and libations as we raise awareness and promote advocacy for the refugee community. Guests can expect a special evening including international cuisine and entertainment, a henna artist, and a silent auction with items made by our newcomers.
World Refugee Day Celebration
You are invited to a Welcome Neighbor STL Supper Club event to support refugee families recently settled in St. Louis. Enjoy food, conversation, and catching up with friends – old and new. From cultural exchange to just plain fun, look forward to a great evening.
These meals present an opportunity for immigrant families to share knowledge and skills unique to them. It is also an opportunity for us to get a glimpse into their culture. These fundraising efforts can set them on a path of greater independence and confidence in their lives here in in the USA.
When you attend a Welcome Neighbor STL Supper Club, your meal will be prepared by immigrant neighbors who will share their culture and cooking skills by providing a table full of traditional food from their country of origin.
Suggested donation: $25 per person.
