Archbishop Kurtz prayed during the opening of the event that each person would be the “force for the difference that brings out the dignity of the human family.” The annual celebration, sponsored by Catholic Charities Migration and Refugee Services office, featured international foods and performances by various refugees. Other speakers at the event included Mayor Greg Fischer and Rep. Jim Wayne.
