SA300 Commemorative Week schedule for Tuesday, May 1: Day of Reflection

SAN ANTONIO – The Day of Reflection is an opportunity for San Antonio to recognize its historic roots in sacred lands of native people, the Spanish missions which gave rise to our modern community, and the rich variety of people who come to call it home.

The day will invite all of San Antonio and faith-based communities to celebrate our unity and our diversity and reflect on the direction we will set for the next 300 years.
