On October 22 and November 13, 2025, Catholics across the U.S. are invited to join in a national day of public witness for our immigrant brothers and sisters. This effort builds on the binational mass at the U.S.-Mexico Border in San Luis, just earlier on October 12, in which Bishops from both countries will call attention to the urgent crisis facing migrants and celebrates the feast day of St. Cabrini, the patron saint of migrants, on November 13.
The One Church, One Family: Catholic Public Witness for Immigrants campaign is a nationwide movement calling Catholics and fellow people of faith to publicly demonstrate solidarity with migrant families, asylum seekers, and refugees.
We invite dioceses, parishes, schools, religious communities, and other institutions and organizations to host public actions that lift up the dignity of migrants—especially in the places where that dignity is most often denied. This may be a vigil in front of a detention center, a prayer service at a place where migrants were publicly detained, or a rosary accompanying people who are going to immigration court hearings. We call on all Catholics to witness to the richness of our traditions and teachings on migration.
As Catholics and people of deep faith, we reject the culture of fear and silence that dehumanizes, and we choose instead to stand with migrants. Together, our voices will send a powerful message in defense of the dignity of our neighbors, family members, fellow parishioners, classmates, coworkers, and friends.
