Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.

  • 2020 November Tau Fraternity
    Tau Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order – Herndon, Virginia St. Margaret of Cortona Region https://tauofs.org/ November 2020 MINISTER’S MESSAGE Peace and all good! “But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29) In his most recent encyclical, “Fratelli tutti” (“Brothers all”), Pope Francis has for us a very explicit message that directly relates to this Gospel passage: “We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a silent breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet.” (No. 137) Who is my neighbor? Pope Francis’ answer is: The world. Is that thought overwhelming? Do the issues he cites appear too complex; their scale too insurmountable? Failed states; corrupt and ineffectual politicians; seemingly endless conflict and despair. What can I do, as just one person? These are natural reactions. But the reality is, we are all connected. What happens to one, happens to all. That may seem implausible — the drowned migrant; the starving refugee in a war zone; the child dying from a preventable disease... they are probably most familiar to us as distant and pitiful images on a glowing screen. Does their plight really impact us, from all the way on the other side of the world, or a wall? Pope Francis says it should, and it can. Like a shockwave, human suffering can spread. We already see its careful containment slipping; no longer are the dispossessed as geographically isolated as they once were.
