Embracing Unity: CELAM Stands with US Church in Support of Migrants
By Vatican News
In a powerful display of solidarity, the Latin American and Caribbean Episcopal Council (CELAM) has reached out to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to express deep gratitude for the unwavering support provided to migrants.
The heartfelt letter, addressed to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, President of the USCCB, highlights the shared history and interconnectedness of the people of Latin America and the Caribbean, emphasizing the struggles and sacrifices made by migrants in search of a better life.
Recognizing the challenges faced by many Latin Americans and Caribbeans forced to leave their homes due to violence and lack of opportunities, the letter acknowledges the United States as a beacon of hope for those seeking a brighter future.
CELAM commends the US Church for its compassionate response to migrants, applauding the efforts to provide a welcoming community, spiritual guidance, and essential support for those in need. The Church’s commitment to assisting migrants on their journey towards economic stability is a testament to the values of compassion and solidarity.
Furthermore, the Church in Latin America reaffirms its dedication to standing in solidarity with migrants, pledging to work hand in hand with the US Church to support both those who choose to stay in their homeland and those who must seek a better life elsewhere to ensure the safety and well-being of their families.
