Welcome to This Week at LIRS! 


Every week, we catch you up on what's new at LIRS—from upcoming events to media appearances, important immigration updates, and more. 
 
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service is pleased to share a special holiday message from our CEO, Krish O'Mara Vignarajah. Enjoy! 
WATCH THE MESSAGE
Last week, LIRS convened experts and advocates for "Beyond Borders and Barriers," a panel discussion about the unique challenges migrant women and girls face internationally and in the United States. It was an inspiring, illuminating discussion—one of many more to come! 

Watch the recording.
"You deserve to be here. You’ve earned this moment. And even if it looks a little different than you thought it would, it’s truly something to celebrate. Now go out and build a better world." 

CEO Krish O'Mara Vignarajah recently spoke to graduates of Concordia College for their winter commencement.

Spread hope today.
This week, we officially relaunched LIRSConnect, a space for LIRS to share news and resources with our community. Visit the platform to keep up-to-date with the latest in immigration news, learn more about upcoming events, engage in Advocacy opportunities, and more!
