Society of Jesus in the United States Applauds U.S. Bishops’ Special Message on Immigration

November 13, 2025
Memorial of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

The Society of Jesus in the United States applauds and thanks our bishops for their Special Pastoral Message issued at their Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore. We echo their concerns, we join them in prayer, and we stand with them in the defense of the dignity of our migrant brothers and sisters in Christ.

We encourage everyone in the Jesuit network to read the bishops’ message and to join us in participating in their You Are Not Alone initiative, such as by signing the Cabrini Pledge. Alongside the bishops and in solidarity with our migrant brothers and sisters, the Jesuit Conference will continue to advocate for the reform of our immigration system. As the bishops wrote, “Human dignity and national security are not in conflict. Both are possible if people of good will work together.”
