Each morning at St. Michael Parish, before the day begins, Brian Crompwell walks the grounds with coffee

“We as Catholic bishops love our country and pray for its peace and prosperity. For this very reason, we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity.” On November 12, 2025 and for the first time in 12 years the U.S. bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. Collectively the bishops have invoked this particularly urgent way of speaking as a body of bishops. Read the full statement and get additional resources here: https://ow.ly/ueEb50XqTPk
