We're excited to have Sr. Simone Campbell of NETWORK as our keynote speaker for the event. Sr. Simone will address the topic of immigration reform and will have several DREAMers present with her to share their experience. The highlight of the evening will be our honoring of the 2013 Teacher of Peace. Mary Meg McCarthy, director of the National Immigrant Justice Center, will be honored as this year's award recipient. The evening event will include dinner. 
St. Kateri Tekawitha

SILENT AUCTION: We're also excited to have an original painting of St. Kateri Tekawitha by Rev. Peter Wm. Gray, SS for our silent auction at the event. In his commentary on the painting, Rev. Gray writes, "St. Kateri's wisdom and choices made her a consummate symbol for the life of women even today. She transcended her Mohawk heritage and expectations and became a universal figure for freedom. All first born nations and Native Americans claim her as one of their own."
