Many United States citizens are descendants of immigrants, including Pope Leo XIV, as he recently said, 

“My own story is that of a citizen, the descendant of immigrants, who in turn chose to emigrate. All of us, in the course of our lives, can find ourselves healthy or sick, employed or unemployed, living in our native land or in a foreign country, yet our dignity always remains unchanged: it is the dignity of a creature willed and loved by God….no one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike.” (Papal Audience, May 16, 2025)

The latest issue of Catholic Herald magazine is here—and it’s one you won’t want to miss. In this edition, we turn the spotlight on a growing movement within our parishes: Catechetical Foundations, a diocesan initiative forming joyful, confident “faith sharers” ready to serve the Church with clarity and love.

Dear Friends in Christ,

Our immigrant neighbors seek, like all of us, a sense of order and well-being for the common good of society.  With this mutual desire we contribute to a dynamic economy, the vitality of our communities, and the healthy education of children.  The law serves to help us achieve a social environment that promotes the welfare of all.  In this way, everyone enjoys the benefits of good order and peace that cultivate a sense of neighborliness and fellowship among all.

In keeping with the theme of this Jubilee Year declared by our late Pope Francis, “Pilgrims of Hope,” we write these words to encourage all of us to continue pressing forward as bearers of hope to eradicate racism in the minds and hearts of the people and cultures today. Since hope is knowing and believing that God is present even in the midst of struggles, trials, and suffering, we are confident that our work will yield fruits as we stay focused on Jesus Christ.
