May 19, 2026At Holy Infant, we are called to welcome the stranger, care for those in need, and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world. One meaningful way to live out this Gospel call is by participating in the Run for Refugees 5K benefiting World Relief Durham.
This family-friendly event will take place on August 22nd at 9 am at Miracle Park in Durham.
The Run for Refugees supports World Relief Durham’s efforts to assist refugees and immigrants as they build new lives in our community. Through programs that provide housing assistance, employment support, English classes, and friendship, World Relief helps families who have fled violence and persecution find hope and stability.
As Catholics, we recognize the face of Christ in those seeking safety and a fresh start. Participating in this event is a simple yet powerful way to show that our parish stands with vulnerable families and believes in the dignity of every human person.
