National Migration Week

National Migration Week will take place January 8–14, 2017
with the theme, "Creating a Culture of Encounter".

“I feel compelled to draw attention to the reality of child migrants, especially the ones who are alone…I ask everyone to take care of the young… they have no means to protect themselves. I ask everyone to help those who, for various reasons, are forced to live far from their homeland and are separated from their families.”

   ~Pope Francis, for the 103^rd World Day of Migrants and Refugees (10/08/2016)

 
ACTION: Join the U.S. Catholic bishops in support of protecting immigrants and refugees by sending an electronic postcard to Washington, DC asking that lawmakers ensure humane treatment towards migrants and refugees. The postcards may be sent from Justice for Immigrants’ homepage at www.justiceforimmigrants.org.
