Every June, we come together for World Refugee Day to celebrate the strength, courage and perseverance of millions of families forced to flee their homes. Imagine -- more than 65 million people have been forcibly displaced around the world and more than half are children.

Catholic Charities along with hundreds of volunteers in Cincinnati welcome and resettle refugees. Through our actions, we show that there is hope beyond borders.

Join us in showing solidarity for our newest neighbors. This relaxed, family-focused event includes a potluck meal. We ask guests to bring a covered dish to share.

Here's how the day will unfold:

• 11:00 am - Check-in begins
