IMMIGRATION RESOURCES
In light of the current immigration situation in our country, which has resulted in widespread worry and uncertainty in our parishes, schools and communities, let us pray that our brothers and sisters living in fear may find strength and peace in our support through God’s work.
Below are links to two important resources for undocumented immigrants:
. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Immigration Resources page, which contains the most up-to-date immigration information.
. Frequently Asked Questions for Undocumented Persons in 2025, a comprehensive document created by the SoCal Immigration Task Force, which addresses many of the questions posed by our undocumented community, and provides practical guidance during these uncertain times.
