QCI Leaders Rally for Immigration Reform
Last Wednesday, on April 10th, QCI partnered with Casa Guanajuato and held a prayerful action for immigration reform at Casa de los niños in Moline. Alicia Gomez who immigrated to this country as a child, spoke passionately about her experience and the need for reform. "The promise of having an opportunity to make a better life is what has drawn immigrants to the United States since its inception," Gomez said. Kriss Well, Board Member of QCI also spoke at this rally. "We must decriminalize the immigration debate so that undocumented immigrates have a fair chance in obtaining immigration reform; the debate should focus more on issues relating to individual rights, family unity, labor rights, and correcting our present unfair immigration process," Wells said.

QCI's 2012 public meeting will be held Thursday, October 25th 6:30-8:00 pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish Center - 422 E.10th St. Davenport, IA. The theme this year is Fire of Faith- rekindling our congregation, our economy, our democracy. Local congregations will be gathering to discuss local issues, to plan, and develop strategies on ways to work together to rejuvenate our congregations. This Fire of Faith campaign is our strategic vision and plan for the next three years- a fresh way to look at faith-based community organizing. Congregations have always been the backbone of Gamaliel and QCI. We recognize the central place of faith in all religions. We will use the skills of community organizing to build our congregations in membership, in public presence and in financial strength. When our congregations are strong, QCI is strong and our work for Justice is strong. We invite your congregations to find out more about this campaign and join us for this exciting campaign. More information to follow.
