On January 30, 2025, Bishop Salvatore R. Matano issued a letter compassionately addressing the topic of immigration. He emphasized that as we follow laws, we must balance security with human dignity, and recognize the contributions and struggles of immigrants. He reminded us that justice must be accompanied by faith, and that we are called to love and welcome the stranger.
As Catholics, we are called to see the face of Christ in every person, especially those who seek refuge and a new beginning. Immigration is not just a political issue—it is a human and moral concern that demands both justice and compassion.
We have provided practical resources that spread the the teachings of the Church and offer support for immigrants.
