Rooted in a desire to protect the inherent dignity of refugees and immigrants and respect the nation’s laws, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is providing individuals, families and Catholic parishes and schools with resources and information as new, federal immigration policies take effect, including broad efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.
Resources for individuals and families can be found at archspm.org/immigration.
Estela Villagrán Manancero, director of Latino Ministry, said in a Jan. 28 meeting with Latino ministers from parishes and schools that it is important to remind families to have essential documents and materials close at hand, such as passports, birth certificates, health history and medicines.
