Archbishop Allen Vigneron | Archdiocese of Detriot

On January 27, the Catholic bishops of Michigan released a pastoral message expressing their support for migrants, refugees, and those seeking asylum. This statement aligns with recent communications from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops concerning the Church's dedication to upholding the dignity of every person, irrespective of nationality or immigration status.

The message includes frequently asked questions about the Church's stance on immigration, a prayer for migrants and refugees, and social media graphics. These resources are accessible in both English and Spanish at micatholic.org/immigration.

"The Catholic bishops of Michigan issued a pastoral message offering their prayerful support to migrants," it was stated. They emphasized "the Church’s commitment to defending the sanctity and God-given dignity of every human life."

Resources provided by the bishops aim to inform and support communities in understanding the Church's teachings on immigration issues.
