Sacred Corridor Vigils

On the second Tuesday of every month, St. Ignatius Parish staff and parishioners participate in a Vigil at the Sansome Street Courthouse. Sign up for one or more shifts today! Parishioners are encouraged to participate in either the 9:30-11:30 am shift on the second Tuesday of the month (led by St. Ignatius) or the 7:30-9:30 am shift on the third Thursday of the month (led by St. Agnes). To participate, you’ll need a smart phone to download a messaging app. 

Register today for one or more vigils!

These vigils are sponsored by the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. They create what organizers call a “sacred corridor” outside immigration courtrooms — a visible presence of prayer, pastoral care, solidarity, and witness.

As Catholics, let’s join our sisters and brothers to help ensure that no one walks into court unseen. Let’s remind all present that faith communities stand for dignity, mercy, and justice. Volunteers are asked to complete a registration form and sign up for a shift on the calendar. Participants are asked to download Signal, a communication app used by the organizers and to read the guidelines before coming to a shift.

As mentioned, if you would like to participate, please register today using the QR code or find the link on our website or in your email newsletter. If you have questions, you may contact [email protected]

For May, the second Tuesday is May 12 and the third Thursday is May 21.
