In a recent statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (January 17, 2020) they stated: “Jesus Christ, who was part of a refugee family, calls us to welcome the stranger, and our pro-life commitment requires us to protect refugees.”

We give thanks for this stance and thank our Brigidine Sisters and associates in Texas who continue to reach out and offer a welcome to refugees seeking a safe haven in the United States.
