This is National Migration Week: Jan 4-10


"Renewing Hope, Seeking Justice"

is the theme of this year's
NATIONAL MIGRATION WEEK
going on now from January 4-10.



According to the USCCB's Migration & Refugee Services website: "the observance began over 25 years ago by the bishops to be a moment for Catholics to take stock of the wide diversity of the Church and the ministries serving them. "


This week would also be a good time to visit Justice for Immigrants , which is the Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform. The website is rich with resources -- check it out if you haven't been there in awhile: http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/
