As a follow up to their Nuns on the Bus tour through the Midwest last summer, NETWORK, a Catholic Social Justice Lobby, are revving up their engines for another national campaign. Only this time the Catholic sisters are taking their mobile platform for social justice along the country's southern border to push Congress to pass immigration reform. The sisters will share stories from their travels and discuss the importance of passing moral laws. They are interested to hear from local groups about any special aspects of immigration that are impacting Houston as well.
