The work of Annunciation House requires an enormous amount of help, volunteer help – your help! We would like to thank the countless volunteers who gave their time, talents, and resources to ensure this year’s Voice of the Voiceless event was a success! The Voice of the Voiceless event is a call to be an active laborer in the vineyard of hospitality. We are also deeply grateful to the community volunteers who make our hospitality work possible and to the house volunteers who have made it possible for us to celebrate year 48 of welcoming the poor in migration! These photos capture just a fraction of those volunteers and event attendees. ¡Mil gracias!

This year, Annunciation House honored Cristina Coronado, Bishop Mark Seitz, and Congresswoman Veronica Escobar at our Voice of the Voiceless event. For being an uncompromising voice for justice, a fearless advocate for migrants and refugees, and a living witness of compassion, faith, and solidarity on the border, the 2026 Witness on the Border Award was proudly presented to Cristina Coronado. For embodying a Gospel of love that is not confined to words but lived through courageous presence among the vulnerable, and for consistently standing in solidarity with migrants, refugees, and all those pushed to the margins, the 2026 Teach of Justice Award was presented to Bishop Mark Seitz. For her outspoken dedication to the just treatment of migrants and refugees, for her unceasing efforts to hold accountable those who would mistreat refugees in detention, for her sponsorship of just immigration reform legislation, and her efforts to seek funding for humanitarian organizations that serve refugees, and her defense of those same organizations when they are threatened by the government, the 2026 Voice of the Voiceless award was presented to Representative Veronica Escobar.

Established by the Annunciation House Board of Directors in 2003, the Voice of the Voiceless event affirms and encourages solidarity with and advocacy alongside the poor in migration. This year’s Solidarity Dinner united the borderlands community in honoring those who have been a voice for the voiceless, even at personal risk and cost. We experienced a renewed call to action and advocacy through our participation in learning, dialogue, liturgical celebration, and exchange with those recognized during dinner.

After a six-year hiatus, Annunciation House was thrilled to once again host the Voice of the Voiceless event. Upon arrival, event guests were greeted with a visual, interactive walkway called “The Path from Violation to Voice.” The path was divided into eight stations – four representing the violence perpetrated against refugees and the other four representing the just actions people can take in support of refugees.

Stations included:
1. Detention & Deportation, No Due Process
2. Oppression of Free Speech
3. No Dignity in Detention
4. The Normalization of Fear
5. Civic Pathways
6. Direct Action
7. Art, Music, and Theater
8. Extending a Hand

[Español abajo.] Dear friends- we're aware some of you have had trouble purchasing online tickets to our Voice of the Voiceless solidarity dinner. We are working on the problem and have just learned that you must be logged into a PayPal account to complete the credit card transaction. We are currently working on setting up an alternative payment method that doesn't require a PayPal account. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Compañer@s: Supimos que algunas personas han encontrado problemas para completar la compra de boletos para nuestra cena de solidaridad. Hemos aprendido que es necesario estar "logged in" con PayPal para completar la transacción con tarjeta de crédito. Actualmente estamos trabajando para ofrecer una opción de pago alternativa que no requiera una cuenta de PayPal. Lamentamos la molestía.
