Archbishop José Gomez has shared a message regarding these issues which we would like to share with you today. Archbishop’s message is a reminder that as Catholics we are called to respect the dignity of every person as children of God. Our Church continues to walk with our immigrant brothers and sisters, and we are grateful for the ongoing efforts by Archbishop Gomez and the bishops of the United States who continue to advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.
As part of the ongoing efforts by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to support our immigrant communities, the Office of Life Justice and Peace has compiled a list of resources and information to help understand the situation at hand and provide guidance and assistance to those who may need it. I encourage you to please visit this website Immigration-LA Catholics to read Archbishop Gomez’s message and to find other important resources that may help to address your questions and that you can share to help your families, friends and neighbors who may be impacted by these matters.
Let us join Archbishop Gomez by offering our prayers so that the Holy Spirit may guide our government leaders to find compassionate solutions to our immigration issues and that our Blessed Mother keep all who are in fear and suffering under the mantel of her protection and love.
