II National Consultation of the CMFN, 2007

Walking Toward the Kingdom Without Fear

"We are a community of migrant farm workers and rural immigrants, who walk towards the Kingdom without fear,

giving witness as actors and not as spectators, a hardworking community in search of justice, mindful of the suffering.​

We are bearers of a historical memory, the present, and the journey into the future;

being a people that moves forward, breaking barriers and creating solutions. 

We are a community committed to the migrant pastoral and we serve with a spirit of communion

to a multicultural community. Starting with a commitment to the formation of youth in our community. 

We are a farming and rural community that needs to continue its formation."
