As you hear about children being detained or having a parent deported, remember that they are just children.

Like every other child — regardless of immigration status — they deserve an opportunity to grow up in a world where they can thrive! #NationalMigrationWeek

As we begin #NationalMigrationWeek, let us reflect on Pope Leo's message: "Even Just One of These Children."

His words encourage us to uphold the dignity and protect the rights of all migrants — but especially children who are often caught up in the most concerning situations.

As National Migration Week continues, we return to this year’s theme: “Even just one of these children.”

Every child. Every family. Every person has God-given dignity.

Special Pastoral Message on Immigration by the Bishops of the United States
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. Here, some of those bishops come together to give voice to the message, which advocates for a meaningful reform of immigration laws and the recognition of the fundamental dignity of all persons, including immigrants.
