Creating a Pathway to Citizenship

Catholic Social Teaching tells us that it is our “duty to welcome the foreigner out of charity and respect for the dignity and rights of the human person.”  Through our “Campaign for Hospitality,” the Ignatian Solidarity Network joins Pope Francis, as well as our Jesuit and other Catholic partners in creating a culture that seeks to welcome, protect, promote, and integrate immigrant persons into our communities.

The Ignatian Solidarity Network has compiled resources and events that you can participate in to help create a pathway to citizenship for immigrants.

Here are things you can do now:

• Talking Points on Immigration Reform
• Backgrounder on Immigration Reform (can also serve as a leave-behind for meetings)
• Congressional Advocacy: Planning Your Virtual Visit
  • English
  • Español
