Saint André Bessette:
Montreal’s Miracle Worker
Nearly refused membership in
the Congregation of Holy
Cross on account of his poor
health and lack of education,
he was accepted as a favor to
the bishop at the time who said of Andre,
“You will have a saint on your
hands.” When he died at age 91 in 1937,
he had outlived everyone in the community
at the time of his admission. Over a million
mourners filed past his body, which lay in
state in the Oratory which was built through
his vision and determination..
At his canonization in October 2010,
Pope Benedict XVI said that St. Andre
"lived the beatitude of the pure of heart."

Florida Bishops Statement on Immigration

January 1, 2011

“When an alien resides with you in your land, do not molest him. You shall treat the alien who resides with you
no differently than the natives born among you; have the same love for him as for yourself; for you too were
once aliens in the land of Egypt. I., the Lord am your God.”

Leviticus 19: 33 – 34

We, the Catholic bishops of Florida, are deeply concerned with our nation’s flawed immigration system and its
impact on the human dignity and lives of our migrant brothers and sisters. This system divides families and
causes human suffering to those who search for work in support of their families.

In Florida, our economy is dependent upon manual labor for agriculture, construction and the service industry.
Limited numbers of worker visas are available to bring unskilled labor into the U.S. for jobs but too often,
demand exceeds need. This has created a market for undocumented workers who may face abuses such as
inadequate wages, substandard housing and no benefits with a real threat of exploitation by unscrupulous
employers, human smugglers and human traffickers. While the Catholic Church does not advocate for
undocumented immigration into the United States, it respects the dignity of the human person and the right to
work to meet the basic needs of their families.

The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of
the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should
see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2241)

The failure of the United States Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform leaves migrants in
search of work without legal protection and vulnerable to mistreatment. At the same time, our State and
nation benefits from their work and their taxes, creating a permanent underclass with no rights in our society.
In his 1981 encyclical letter, Laborem Exercens, Pope John Paul II expressed that care should be taken to
prevent the exploitation of those who must emigrate in order to find work. Furthermore, just legislation must
ensure the same criteria apply to immigrant workers as other workers in society. As a moral matter, we
cannot accept the toil and taxes of these human beings without offering them the protections of our laws. This
is not the American way.

We also have grave concerns about the impact of this flawed system on family unity. Families are the building
blocks for society and the place where children are nourished and protected. Too often, backlogs and visa
quotas for countries prevent immigrant citizens and legal permanent residents from bringing spouses, parents
and minor children from overseas, a wait for some approaching 20 years. The U.S. citizen children of
undocumented immigrants are at significant risk if parents are incarcerated and scheduled for deportation.

Our humanitarian concerns with the broken immigration system do not conflict with, but complement the right
of the sovereign nation to control its borders. By repairing the system comprehensively, and providing legal
means for entry, the nation would replace illegality with legality so that individuals and families could migrate
and work in a safe and controlled manner. This would not only protect the rights of the migrant, but also help
ensure national security, as law enforcement would be able to focus on those who come to our country to
harm us.
SAINT CHARLES BORROMEO CATHOLIC CHURCH ORLANDO, FLORIDA

The Church recognizes the right of a sovereign state to control its borders in
furtherance of the common good. It also recognizes the right of persons to
migrate so that they can realize their God-given rights. These teachings
complement each other. While the sovereign state may impose reasonable
limits on immigration, the common good is not served when the basic human
rights of the individual are violated. (Strangers No Longer: Together on the
Journey of Hope, a joint pastoral statement composed by the Bishops of Mexico
and the United States.)
While we support the right of the sovereign nation to control its borders, this does not mean that it should be
done in a manner that undermines basic human rights. The vast majority of immigrants to this nation are not
criminals, which should be taken into account in any enforcement strategy. The recent increases in
deportation and the sometimes inhumane treatment of detainees such as refusal to allow contact with families
and no legal representation causes us to question the methods used against those already in fear for their
lives. Immigration law is complicated and only trained professionals have current knowledge of the laws, not
local law enforcement.
Any passing of laws that give legal sanction to profiling people will decrease public safety and discourage
reporting of crime. The so-called ‘illegals’ are so, not because they wish to defy the law, but because the law
does not provide them with any channels to regularize their status in our country which needs their labor.
They are not so much breaking the law, as being broken by the law.
Instead of passing local and state laws which cause fear in immigrant communities, Congress must bring
these persons out of the shadows so they can fully contribute their talents to our nation. The United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops has consistently advocated for “a path to citizenship” meaning those who are
already present and contributing to society could come forward and pay a fine, undergo a comprehensive
criminal background check, show they have paid taxes, are learning English and obtain a visa that would lead
to permanent residency. Immigration is a federal issue and there must be a federal solution rather than the
attempts to craft varying proposals in several states including Florida.
We call upon our federal delegation to lead the fight for comprehensive immigration reform in Congress. We
call upon the Florida legislature to resist efforts to demonize those who provide the labor for our economy and
a living for their families. Our Catholic Social Teaching and the tradition of the Church affirm the dignity of
every human being, made in the image of God.

ST. AUGUSTINE MARCH FOR LIFE ~ JANUARY 15, 2011

Since Roe v. Wade in 1973 there have been 51 million abortions in the United States. That’s
approximately 3,700 abortions per day! These lives need your prayers, your protection, and your
witness. Will you stand up and defend your unborn brothers and sisters? If not you—who? If not now—
when? Join hundreds of others who believe in the sanctity of life and march through the historic streets
of downtown St. Augustine while praying for an end to abortion. Hear talks and music from pro-life
leaders. Pray at the Cemetery of the Innocents for the lives already lost . Learn about pro-life efforts currently underway in
Florida. Enjoy lunch in St. Augustine and explore our nation’s oldest city. Be a part of the action – make your voice heard.
The Diocese of Orlando will have buses leaving from Brevard, Orange, and Volusia County. If you are interested in joining
us please contact
ecalyton@orlandodiocese.org or call 407-246-4819.
