“To tear families apart is to wound the very heart of God,” said Father Gary, who walked _800 miles_ from the childhood home of Pope Leo to the Statue of Liberty in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. “And now, after all these miles, I say again: It is time to step up. It is time to speak out.”
As a daughter of immigrants, witnessing Father Gary’s pilgrimage reach its end was truly inspiring. His walk honors the sacrifices, and echoes the hopes and fears of so many immigrant families.
Thank you, Father Gary, for carrying our voices, and for reminding the country that immigrants belong.

Father Gary Graf’s 800-mile walk from Dolton, Illinois to the Statue of Liberty ended this week, but the mission he carried with him is far from over.
