Earlier today (Tuesday), Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, in partnership with SacACT (Sacramento Area Congregations Together) https://www.sacact.org/ and PICO California https://picocalifornia.org/ held a press conference detailing the community's faith response to the plight of the migrants who were flown from Texas to Sacramento and abandoned.
The story has garnered international news coverage, and is similar to the events of last September, when migrants were flown to Martha's Vineyard.
36 migrants, from Venezuela, Colombia, and Guatemala, all asylum-seekers, were lured with promises of work and housing. They had no idea where they were being taken. Since their arrival, the faith community has banded together to house, feed, clothe, and care for these individuals.

The Trinity Cathedral Choir Schedules English Cathedral Pilgrimage for July | |
The Trinity Cathedral Choir of Sacramento is heading to England in July, to be "in residence" at Exeter Cathedral, while their regular choirs are on summer break. The choir will be singing the daily evensong services plus the Sunday morning Eucharist during their time at Exeter. The music to be sung for each of the seven services during the week must be different each day, so there is quite a lot of music for the choir to get through!
David Link, Canon Precentor & Director of Music at Trinity Cathedral says that this is the choir's sixth pilgrimage to England, having previously sung at Canterbury, Lincoln, Wells, Winchester, Chichester, Salisbury, Truro, and Norwich Cathedrals, and York Minster and Westminster Abbey.
For more details about the choir's residency at Exeter Cathedral, see here:
