Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank question related to the topic of the Church's activities (specifically about bishops' journey and related events at the US - Mexico border), we need to recall the relevant religious and social context (related to the Catholic Church's outreach and concern for migrants).

Step 1: Analyze the first part of the blanks

The bishops involved in this event on April 1, 2014, were from the United States, Mexico, and the Catholic Church (the third blank can be "Catholic Church" as it's about the Church's bishops). They journeyed to the city of "El Paso" (a city on the US - Mexico border, the second blank). The first blank can be "United States" and "Mexico" (as bishops from these two countries, given the border context).

Step 2: Analyze the liturgy and journey part

On the US side of the border fence, the bishops celebrated a "Mass" (a liturgical service in the Catholic Church, the blank for liturgy). They prayed for justice for migrants and immigrants and remembered all those people from Central America and Mexico who have "died" (a common fate of migrants on the "dangerous" journey north to the United States, the last two blanks: "died" and "dangerous").

Answer:

1. On April 1, 2014, bishops from United States, Mexico, and the Catholic Church journeyed to the city of El Paso, which sits exactly on the U.S. - Mexico border.

On the U.S. side of the 30 - foot - tall border fence, the bishops celebrated a Mass Liturgy. They prayed for justice for migrants and immigrants and remembered all those people from Central America and Mexico who have died on the dangerous journey north to the United States.

(Note: Answers may vary slightly based on specific historical/religious context sources, but the above aligns with typical themes of Catholic Church outreach to migrants at the U.S. - Mexico border.)
