Hi AnonAJ,

I am not holding my breath waiting to see the USCCB come out with anything supporting the "sanctuary" movement.  But I do expect that a good number of parishes will become 'sanctuary parishes' [and that their bishops will give tacit permission/blessing for them].

Hopefully, at these sanctuary churches [whatever the denomination], adults will be given training for work, coaching for citizenship, and a lasting place to find community.  The children should also have tutoring for school when needed, and also an opportunity to feel accepted an loved.


Let's hope that the sanctuary movement grows all over the U.S.  There are many good folks who need the help and hopefully Catholic Charities, with good people like you can, once again, be a leader in this movement.
