As our nation continues to grapple with complex policy questions surrounding immigration, the Catholic Church remains committed to providing pastoral ministry and accompaniment to immigrants facing immigration challenges.
To this end, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) offers a parish toolkit for supporting immigrants in time of need. It aims to provide immediate steps that parishes and Catholic institutions can take to promote the safety and security of its members and to accompany and support immigrants who have a family member who is detained or threatened by deportation. It includes essential “know your rights” information for immigrants, emergency preparedness planning resources and accompaniment and educational resources for parish staff and volunteers.
