Hundreds of Catholics took to the streets of the Diocese of Brooklyn, carrying crosses and offering prayers in solidarity with Haitian migrants facing uncertainty over their future in the United States.

Led by Bishop Robert Brennan, the Oct. 17 “Stations of the Cross for Migrant Dignity” procession began at Saint Jerome Church and continued to St. Therese of Lisieux Church and St. Vincent Ferrer.

The prayerful demonstration came amid growing concerns over the federal government’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands who fled poverty and gang violence in their homeland.
