New Resource: A National Prayer Service Honoring the Many Journeys that Shaped America
Created in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the United States, this evergreen immigration-focused prayer service provides a model that can be used at any time throughout the year. It provides an opportunity for the Catholic faithful to reflect on the lives of migrants and discern how we might help them meet their spiritual and material needs. (English and Spanish)
Emergency and Family Support
Immigrants and their families need your help. Whether it is educating communities on their legal rights, responding to enforcement actions taking place in your community, or providing support after enforcement has occurred, these resources provide guidance on how you can engage immigrants in need of your support.
Solidarity through Public Prayer and Witness
As threats of family separation, detention, and deportation rise, people of faith across the country are coming together to publicly stand with migrant and refugee communities. The Missionaries of Hope Toolkit and related Rosary resources equip individuals, parishes, and dioceses with everything they need to organize prayerful, public witness rooted in Catholic teaching.
Accompaniment and Pastoral Care
It is important to support clergy, lay leaders, and parish communities in providing pastoral care and accompaniment to immigrants—whether ministering to those detained and their families navigating the immigration system or walking with farmworkers through practical, pastoral, and spiritual support that upholds their God-given dignity.
Catholic Bishops of the United States’ Statements on Migration
Given the significant uptick in immigration enforcement following the swearing in of President Trump for his second term, which has contributed to mass deportations and instances of family separation, Catholic bishops from across the country have reiterated their support for vulnerable migrant populations.
