For #WelcomeWednesday, here's part four of our ten-part series on Catholic social teaching and migration: The Right to Migrate and the Obligation to Welcome
"When individuals cannot secure safety or the basic necessities of life in their homeland, Catholic teaching affirms their natural right to migrate."
"When remaining at home means violence, persecution, or other life-threatening circumstances, migration, even irregular migration, becomes morally justifiable." youtube.com/shorts/04BaWLgJh…
"Catholics and evangelicals said they are concerned about growing deportation and detention activity by ICE officials, especially in the light of several groups, including Haitians, losing their legal status... [and] about the children of immigrants." religionnews.com/2026/10/15/…

The Catholic Church in the United States will observe National Migration Week beginning September 21 and culminating with the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees on September 27.
For over 45 years, the U.S. Catholic Church has celebrated National Migration Week by reflecting on its history as an immigrant Church and the ways in which the country has been enriched by generations of immigrants, including the many Catholics who have adopted this land as their own.
