Immigration Mobilization Committee

Mission
The Immigration Mobilization Committee was formed by parishioners concerned about the injustices faced by immigrant, refugee and asylee families and individuals. Today’s immigrants leave their home countries because of intense violence, lack of opportunity, economic or legal injustices and persecution due to religion, gender, sexual orientation or political affiliation. We feel called by the Gospel and guided by Catholic Social Teaching to welcome the stranger by seeing in the immigrant the face of Christ. America is a country built by immigrants, most of us need to look back only one or two generations to discover our own immigrant ancestors.
The goals of the Immigration Committee are to assist parishioners to:
- Learn about immigration and the Church’s position on the issue through reading, research, and discussion
- Organize activities to raise awareness of issues facing immigrants
- Identify ways to serve immigrant children and adults in Baltimore in collaboration with local organizations who support them
- Advocate on behalf of immigrants for legislative change by engaging elected officials through petitions, lobbying, and outreach
- Care for the spiritual well-being of immigrant children and adults through prayer, vigils, and other spiritual ministries.

Urgent Message!
Continue to call the CASA Hotline if you see ICE
It is important to keep reporting ICE sightings. I know it is not easy when they don't have identification. However, the more we report, the better we can be at planning and understanding who needs assistance quickly. See the hotline number below .
Es importante seguir reportando redadas de ICE. Sé que no es fácil cuando no tienen identificación. Pero cuanto más reportemos, mejor podremos planificar y saber quién necesita ayuda rápidamente. Vea el número de la línea directa arriba.
