  Statement calling on U.S. Senate to Pass the Dream Act of 2019

  6/19/2020
  We welcome today’s Supreme Court ruling on the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which leaves in place protections for DACA recipients and other qualified immigrants at risk of deportation.

For this reason, the Jesuit Provincials of the United States, the Ignatian Solidarity Network, the Jesuit Schools Network, and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities renew our call on the U.S. Senate to pass a clean Dream Act in order to provide DACA recipients with security and a pathway to citizenship[1].

  Conversion and Justice: A Message from Fr. McGrath

  5/30/2020
  Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops released the following statement in response to the killing of Mr. George Floyd.

We share the bishops' outrage over this death. As they remind us, the sin of racism continues to plague our country and all of us are called to conversion. We pray that we might hear this call to conversion and greater love and respond generously and courageously. As our Church celebrates Pentecost this weekend, we beg the Holy Spirit to move us to healing, compassion and justice.

  –Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ
