News & Events
For almost 50 years, the Catholic Church in the United States has observed National Migration Week. This week, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the daily challenges faced by migrants, immigrants, refugees, and survivors of human trafficking.
Regarding the place of migrants in God’s plan, Pope Francis has said, “The Kingdom of God is to be built with them, for without them it would not be the Kingdom that God wants. The inclusion of those most vulnerable is the necessary condition for full citizenship in God’s Kingdom.”

Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels
The liturgy celebrates the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, archangels who are venerated in the tradition of the Church. Michael (Who is like God?) was the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is the protector of all humanity from the snares of the devil. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, "Hail, full of grace," is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Christian people. Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey. (catholicculture.org)

The Eucharist is the “the source and summit of the Christian Life.” (Lumen Gentium, no. 11). In the Eucharistic Liturgy and our prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, we encounter God’s presence in a personal and profound ways. But the Eucharist is also social. “A Eucharist which does not pass over into the concrete practice of love is intrinsically fragmented.” (Pope Benedict XVI)
We experience the Eucharist as a community.
The Eucharist awakens us to our dignity and to that of others.
The Eucharist unifies and heals divisions.
The Eucharist sensitizes us to those who suffer.
The Eucharist challenges us to recognize and confront structure of sin.
The Eucharist prepares us for mission.
The Eucharist propels us forth to transform the world.

NATIONAL MIGRATION WEEK - SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2022
Download your Catholic Charities - Social Concerns Parish Guidebook for National Migration Week and the World Day of Migrants and Refugees.
"National Migration Week is an opportunity for the Church to reflect on the circumstances confronting migrants, including immigrants, refugees, children, and victims and survivors of human trafficking. The primary theme for this year is “Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees”. Commenting on the place of migrants in God’s plan, Pope Francis emphasizes that “the Kingdom of God is to be built with them, for without them it would not be the Kingdom that God wants. The inclusion of those most vulnerable is the necessary condition for full citizenship in God’s Kingdom." - 2022 National Migration Week Toolkit
The Catholic Charities - Social Concerns Parish Guidebook includes 7 days of prayer and reflection.
The sacraments the Church celebrates are signs of grace that make a deeper reality present to us. One reality we encounter through the sacraments is Christ's presence in the Church community, his body. This recognition of Christ's presence in the community should lead to a stronger awareness of being sent on mission to engage in concrete, love-inspired action in the world.
