The Children's Agenda Interfaith Collaborative

Children's Interfaith Weekend

Friday, October 21 - Sunday, October 23, 2022

What It Is

During Children’s Interfaith Weekend faith communities across Monroe County dedicate time to hold children in prayer or intention and take action on their behalf at worship services or special events.

Why We Gather

We are inspired by sacred texts and teachings. We advocate for effective policies and solutions for the health, education and success of children. We are especially committed to children who are vulnerable because of poverty, racism, health inequities and trauma.

Who Participates

All communities are welcome to participate! Children’s Interfaith Weekend is organized by the Interfaith Collaborative, a project of The Children’s Agenda. Click the Sign Up button to receive more information about how to get involved.

When It Happens

Children’s Interfaith Weekend is modeled on the Children’s Sabbath which is honored across the country on the third weekend in October.

Circle of Intention

Sunday, October 23, 2022
8:00am – 8:30am
In front of Rochester City School District Central Office
131 W. Broad Street, Rochester

We will lift children up in prayer and intention. All are welcome!

Resources for Planning

Send a message to Governor Hochul and state legislators that young students need education, not exclusion. New York should adopt proven methods that hold students accountable for their actions and offer them social-emotional supports while keeping them in the classroom. Let’s get teachers and schools the resources they need to keep students learning.  We need solutions, not suspensions!
