In Support of USCCB

Holy Infant Catholic Church is in full support for the statement issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) regarding the dignity of every person, the essential role of the Church's charitable ministries, and the importance of humane and just immigration policies.

As a faith community rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we uphold the belief that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity and worth. This conviction inspires our commitment to serve all individuals, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status, through our ministries of education, healthcare, social services, and spiritual care. We are proud of the direct work happening here at Holy Infant through our Refugee Resettlement Team and will continue to do all we can to support World Relief Services.

The USCCB’s statement rightly emphasizes that non-emergency immigration enforcement in sensitive settings—such as schools, places of worship, healthcare facilities, and social service agencies—undermines the common good and fosters fear among vulnerable populations. This fear disrupts families, discourages participation in essential services, and erodes trust between communities and those who serve them. Such actions are contrary to the Church’s mission of charity and the broader goal of fostering safe and thriving communities.

We join the USCCB in calling for a more compassionate and just approach to immigration enforcement—one that balances the legitimate needs of border security with the fundamental rights and dignity of every human being.
