"Road to Emmanaus" conversation sponsored by COPS, 11-12

Join us on “The Road to Emmaus!” - a conversation about issues that affect our families, and how to engage through civic participation.

The Communities Organized for Public Service (C.O.P.S.)/Metro Alliance will hold its annual assembly where we will celebrate our first half a million dollar renovation to Fr. Benavides Park on the West Side.

There will be hundreds of COPS/Metro Leaders representing our 33 member institutions.

Our guests will include: Ernie Cortez, a founder of C.O.P.S./Metro Alliance, Vicar General Fr. Larry Christian, District 5 Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales, Patrick Duffy of The Office of Life, Peace and Justice, and other public officials and community leaders.

The assembly will take place Tuesday, November 12th @ 7-8:30 p.m. @ Fr. Albert Benavides Park, 1515 Saltillo Street.

“Our legacy is one of action for our brothers and sisters in our neighborhoods,” said Joseph Oubre’, Jr., a COPS/Metro Leader from Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. “We are calling on our elected officials and leaders to join us and take advantage of the opportunities to improve the quality of life for the families in our community.”

C.O.P.S./Metro is non-partisan and does not endorse candidates nor political parties.
