Hi John,
In a season where the news so often leaves us frustrated, angry, or heartbroken, the One Church, One Family campaign has been a source of deep joy and hope. Across the country, Catholics are gathering in love and solidarity with the migrant community, a living testament to the Gospel in the face of unimaginable pain and suffering.
From a raucous rally outside an ICE detention center in New Jersey to a retired, homebound sister quietly organizing her convent to pray the rosary for migrants, the Spirit is moving. The movement you are part of is both powerful and tender, bold and prayerful, rooted in faith and the conviction that we are, truly, one family in Christ.
We are heeding Pope Leo’s call to recognize that the laborer, the migrant, and the stranger are not “others,” but members of the same human family deserving of dignity and love.
Thanks to your leadership and witness, One Church, One Family has already inspired over 100 public actions in 27 states—from noisy street corners to candlelit chapels. National and Catholic media are taking note, sharing the story of a Church alive in faith and solidarity.
Here is some media coverage you may have seen over the last weeks:
* Highlights from the first wave of nationwide vigils on October 22 ([link removed]) , featuring stories from Newark, Stonehill College, and beyond.
* National Catholic media have begun covering the campaign in depth, situating it within broader Church conversations around immigration and Pope Francis’s call to walk with migrants—see recent coveragehere ([link removed]) ,here ([link removed]) andhere ([link removed]) .
* Other outlets have featured how Catholic schools, parishes, and religious congregations are activating in new and creative ways—fromPhiladelphia ([link removed]) tocommunities across the country ([link removed]) .
Join us on Nov. 13, Feast of Mother Cabrini, patron saint of immigrants ([link removed])
Whether you host a simple or elaborate public witness in your parish, on your campus, or in your community, or share campaign coverage with others, your presence matters. Every compassion-filled act adds light to this shared story.
Together, we’re building a Church that reflects the radical hospitality of the Gospel: one family, united in love.
With gratitude and hope,
