The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has launched the “Cabrini Pledge” intended to help Catholics in “witnessing to the God-given dignity of every person, including the migrants and refugees in our midst,” as the Catholic Church in the U.S. observes National Migration Week.
Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, introduced the pledge in a video message, imploring U.S. Catholics to join the effort.
“With one voice, we proclaim every person, regardless of where they are born, is created in the image of God and has an inherent dignity that deserves respect,” Bishop Seitz said, noting this sentiment guided the ministry of Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini, the patron saint of immigrants.
“By signing this pledge, you make an intentional commitment to living out the Gospel, not an abstraction, but through acts of solidarity that affirm the inherent dignity of every person,” he continued. “Through prayer, encounter, and civic engagement, we can transform fear into compassion and create a world where no one feels less than human because of their immigration status.”
