Jesus Flores the coordinator for Migrant Ministry for the Diocese of Rochester. Fr. Jesus will speak about the diocesan outreach to migrant farm workers and about the Catholic view on immigration reform. In November of 2000 the United States Catholic Bishops issued a Pastoral Letter Concerning Migration titled: Welcoming the Stranger: the Human Rights of Migrants. In its opening paragraph the bishops state quite clearly and directly that: A central principle of Catholic social teaching is the right to emigrate. Although there is little written on the right to immigrate that is, enter a country clearly the right to leave a person s country without undue restraint implies that there be places that allow and provide good people meaningful opportunities to pursue their legitimate well-being and that of their families. To read the rest of this informative letter please go to the following link: welcoming-the-stranger.doc The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has launched a postcard campaign to Congress in support of immigration reform. It is anticipated that immigration reform could be considered in In order to participate in the campaign. Postcards are available will be available at the back of the Chapel after Mass THIS Sunday. This is an important public policy issue which impacts individuals and families and we encourage you to participate in the campaign. More can be found within this e-bulletin! Lenten Peace, Jamie

2 To learn more about Catholic teachings on migration and immigration check out the following links: Local Facts About the Diocese of Rochester You Should Know: Twenty thousand migrant workers labor in our fields, dairy farms, factories, greenhouses, and restaurants. Migrant workers have been coming in to our diocese from Mexico, Central and South America in increasing numbers. The majority of migrant workers are Catholic. The diocese has initiated mission sites in Sodus, Geneva, Brockport and Mt. Morris to support migrant workers. Full and part-times ministers are serving the camps throughout our 12 counties. Migrant Ministry is the responsibility of the whole Catholic Community. Our faith communities and diocese need to be supported in order to me the pastoral needs of the migrants. Immigration reform is a matter of life and death...

3 Pray ~ Fast ~ Learn ~ Give When we celebrate the Eucharist, we are connected in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world. During this season of Lent our parish will explore this connection through our participation in Catholic Relief Services Operation Rice Bowl. Operation Rice Bowl invites us to: Pray together Fast in solidarity with those who are hungry Learn about the joys and challenges in the lives of our brothers and sisters around the world Help Us Make Our Goal of $500.00!! Give sacrificial contributions to support those in need. Visit to find videos and other information about the difference your Lenten prayers, fasting, and sacrificial donations make in the lives of our brothers and sisters in need.
