By Rev. Liliana Padilla, Director de Impacto Comunitario

At Impacto Comunitario, we are deeply honored to stand in unwavering solidarity with our immigrant community, passionately advocating for fair and humane treatment for all individuals. We invite you to join us every Monday at 8:00 a.m. in front of the San Antonio Immigration Court (800 Dolorosa Street) for our heartfelt prayer vigils.

These gatherings, a collaborative effort with local leaders and congregations organized by the Interfaith Welcome Coalition of San Antonio, create a nurturing space for connection and collective hope.

Together, we come to pray for families impacted by raids and deportations, lifting our voices in song and support, reminding one another that we are not alone in this journey. Everyone is welcome to participate and contribute to this shared mission of compassion and resilience; your presence makes a difference in our community.

At Impacto Comunitario, our ongoing commitment to uplifting our beloved community is stronger than ever! In 2025, we’re excited to host a series of engaging events dedicated to educating our neighbors about immigration laws and standing together to protect our immigrant families from deportation, particularly in light of the increased ICE activity.

We understand that many families are facing challenging times, which is why we provide essential support, including food pantries and notary public services, to help secure childcare and passports for those affected by deportations.

Additionally, we’re proud to offer trusted legal guidance through partnerships with local immigration attorneys and other dedicated organizations in San Antonio, ensuring that community concerns are met with compassion and action.

If you share our passion for supporting immigrant families and want to explore how you can contribute to this vital cause, we warmly invite you to reach out to us: lilianapadilla4@aol.com.
