Brooklyn bishop, faithful take to streets to defend Haitians

Bishop Robert Brennan led hundreds of Catholics in a procession through New York City on Oct. 17 to support Haitian migrants. The Stations of the Cross for Migrant Dignity demonstration sought to show solidarity with the approximately 350,000 Haitians in the United States facing the July termination of their Temporary Protected Status.

The prayerful march began at Saint Jerome Roman Catholic Church in East Flatbush. Participants carried crosses and offered prayers as the procession moved toward Saint Thérèse of Lisieux Roman Catholic Church and Saint Vincent Ferrer church.
