Diocesan Immigrant Support Network

The Diocesan Immigrant Support Network (DISN) was created in 2008 to build a network of support for immigrant parishioners throughout the Diocese. The network provides reliable and timely information, access to immigration legal services and advocates for immigration reform.

The DISN was created to build a network of support for immigrant parishioners throughout the Diocese with three goals: 

  • Provide accurate, timely information about immigration law, any new development and the available resources for legal counsel.
  • Advocate for a just and humane reform of immigration law.
  • Provide assistance in applying for any available legal immigration remedies. 

These goals continue to be relevant and necessary for many of our brothers and sisters.

The Office of Catholic Charities & Social Concerns along with our Catholic Charities Member Agencies and partners will continue to provide reliable and timely information and access to immigration services.

IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES

We remind parish staff to coordinate all immigration questions and referrals to one of our three Catholic Charities Member Agencies: Catholic Charities of Solano, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and Northern Valley Catholic Social Services. 

If you would like additional information or resources, contact the Office of Catholic Charities & Social Concerns at  916-733-0253.
