POSTVILLE - A Postville church plans to mark one-year since the immigration raid at Agriprocessors.

On May 12th, 2008 immigration officials arrested 389 people there.

St. Bridget's Catholic Church became a refuge for community-members during the commotion.

On May 12th, 2009 the church will host a prayer vigil and walk calling for immigration reform, just labor practices, and an end to raids.

The event starts at 3:30 that Tuesday afternoon.
