celebrate the congregation’s life. The meeting is held in the sanctuary.

With the support of the Ithaca Sanctuary Alliance (ISA), the First Congregational Church of Ithaca (FCCI) in July 2020 welcomed a teen mother and her young daughter into the apartment they built to provide sanctuary for immigrants at risk of deportation. Drucila Francisco Mateo and Jessie lived at the church for more than two years.

In the fall of 2023, we welcomed a new family of sanctuary guests.
