Immigration

“The Church is ever mindful that Jesus Christ was himself a refugee, Mary with baby Jesusthat as a child he had to flee with his parents from his native land in order to escape persecution. In every age, therefore, the Church feels herself called to help refugees.” Pope John Paul II Refugee Center, Morong Philipines February 21, 1981.
