Highlighting the Holy Family, this bilingual prayer card reminds us of the important role that family plays in our lives, the precarious existence of families who are caught in a migration experience
With the recent increase in unaccompanied migrant children along the US/Mexico border, it is particularly important that we keep in our prayers vulnerable children who put into difficult situations, both in this instance and around the world

I wonder why the USCCB and Francis don’t attack Cuba’s emmigration problem.
They have a legal status: lawbreaker.
The American bishops continue their campaign to destroy the pro-life movement. Most of them have always hated it.
Immigrants vote about 70% pro-abortion. No one has the right to enter a country—legally or illegally, and vote for genocide.
We need to reunite these families by providing one way tickets to their original/home countries.
I do as well.
I know several. >
Are they actually “R” in the county records? you’re lucky, my pastor reads the NCReporter and Sojourners.
