Day of Prayer and Solidarity with Families of Immigrants
Oblate Professors Interviewed about the Feast of Guadalupe
The U.S. Catholic bishops recently declared
that the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
on December 12 will also be a National Day of Prayer and Solidarity with Families of Immigrants. The feast offers
a good opportunity for solidarity with families of immigrants especially
celebrating the gifts of refugees and migrants to the United States. In their
statement, the Bishops speak about the environment of uncertainty that multitudes
of immigrants and refugees and their families are currently facing, and the need for
solidarity with migrant and refugee brothers and sisters. The Bishops are
encouraging Catholics to pray for the protection and well being of this
vulnerable population.
