U.S bishops prepare faithful for Migration Week

(Vatican Radio)  The U.S. Catholic bishops have issued a series of resource materials to help the faithful prepare for National Migration Week 2015 which will take place 4-10 January with the theme, "We are One Family Under God."

In a note on their website, the bishops say the theme “brings to mind the importance of family in our daily lives.” This reminder, they affirm, “is particularly important when dealing with the migration phenomenon, as family members are too often separated from one another.”

The resources available on the USCCB website include prayer cards, prayers, and background information regarding human trafficking, foreign labor recruitment, unaccompanied foreign minors and refugees.
