Refugee Week 2021 @ Pilgrim

‘Celebrating with Refugees’ at Pilgrim Uniting Church

Pilgrim’s Circle of Friends and Community Connections will jointly be hosting a special event, ‘Celebrating with Refugees’ during Refugee Week 2021. The event will enrich participants as we learn about the achievements and success from a diverse group of refugees who are looking forwards to sharing milestones and challenges of their lives in Adelaide. Participants will also hear about the work of Circle of Friends and Justice for Refugees (J4R) and how to be involved with this great work.

It will be an opportunity to eat together, share together, listen together, pray together (interfaith prayers) – and all profits will go to the Pilgrim Circle of Friends to support practical needs of refugees and asylum seekers.

Bookings via Eventbrite or the Pilgrim Office are essential for catering purposes and COVID-19 compliance with numbers in the hall.
