Justice for Immigrants

In union with our Neighbors

As Sisters of Saint Joseph we are called “To be a healing presence, advocating with and responding to persons experiencing marginalization and addressing human activity and systemic injustices responsible for the abuse of Earth and the miseries of our day”.

Pope Francis’ Letter to U.S. Bishops

” . . . Jesus Christ, loving everyone with a universal love, educates us in the permanent recognition of the dignity of every human being, without exception. In fact, when we speak of “infinite and transcendent dignity,” we wish to emphasize that the most decisive value possessed by the human person surpasses and sustains every other juridical consideration that can be made to regulate life in society. Thus, all the Christian faithful and people of good will are called upon to consider the legitimacy of norms and public policies in the light of the dignity of the person and his or her fundamental rights, not vice versa.”

Statement of USCCB President on Executive Orders Signed by the President

“I wish to reiterate that the Catholic Church is not aligned with any political party, and neither is the bishops’ conference. No matter who occupies the White House or holds the majority on Capitol Hill, the Church’s teachings remain unchanged. It is our hope that the leadership of our Country will reconsider those actions which disregard not only the human dignity of a few, but of us all.
