Where All Find a Home
Immigration is increasingly becoming the subject of debate in our neighborhoods, families and parishes. In many places, the discussion can grow divisive. It doesn't need to be. As Catholics, our focus must be the dignity of the human person and the welfare of families.
The Maryland-serving bishops have released "Where All Find A Home: A Catholic Response to Immigration." In it, Baltimore Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, Washington Archbishop Donald Wuerl and Wilmington Bishop Michael Saltarelli urge Catholics to engage in faith-filled discussion of the issue.
In the Church no one is a stranger, and the Church is not foreign to anyone, anywhere.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was a naturalized immigrant from Italy and the first American citizen to become a saint. Today she is universal patroness of migrants.
