Standing Up For Migrant Rights in Quincy

In a tension-filled gathering at Central Middle School, Quincy’s residents voiced their concerns and sought clarity regarding the new migrant shelter, the “Family Welcome Center”, on the Eastern Nazarene College campus. The shelter, which currently houses 58 migrants, mostly of Haitian descent, became a flashpoint when a neo-Nazi group staged a protest. A counter-demonstration by community members quickly followed. As sentiments ranged from welcoming to unwelcoming, Sister Tess Browne, a long-time Quincy resident from Trinidad & Tobago, stepped forward at the public meeting to provide more information about the shelter.

Reflection on ‘Walking by Faith’

During the Installation Mass of 2023, the SCN Congregation highlighted the theme “We walk by faith,” championed by Sisters Jackulin Jesu and Amrita Manjaly. In a world riddled with complexities, from the migrant crisis to societal divisions, scripture reminds society to act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly. As the Congregation charts its spiritual path, the broader call to society emerges: to navigate challenges with faith, love, and humility, trusting always in the Divine’s unwavering guidance.
