How it all Started
How it all Started
On a snowy morning in January of 2007, Royal Berg an immigration lawyer, and two Catholic Sisters of Mercy – Sr. JoAnn Persch and Sr. Pat Murphy – stood outside the Broadview Immigration Staging Center and discovered the horror of family separations because of deportation. The experience of that day compelled them to be present every Friday at 7:15 am and to attempt to get inside to pray with those being deported.
Then ICDI was born.
