Welcome to Change Takes Faith

Not all issues have dominated the political or social agenda of the country than immigration, families and individuals who come to our shores from other countries.

While some may question the legal rights of immigrants - documented or not - live in the U.S., and others may see the economic benefits of additions finished working on the labor force, the Church has always answered to a higher authority. When the lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor", the answer was simple and no one is excluded: one who has mercy. (Luke 10:29-37) Compelled by their faith and ancient writings to welcome all people as neighbors, church people put into their communities in creative and effective immigration ministry.

Across the country, city and state councils of churches implementing exciting ministries and are looking for additional support and ideas to enhance their support of neighbors, which are sometimes dismissed as "foreigners."

So the march was scheduled, whose official name of the "March for America: Change requires courage and faith," with financial support by 35 Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim organizations. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the immigration reform campaign are not among the sponsors, but justice for immigrants organized the mass of Cardinal Mahony and clearly supports the march.
