Immigration Updates
The Archdiocese of Dubuque, Catholic Charities, and the Bishops have several resources on immigration. We invite you to check out these links:

 CatholicCharitiesDubuque.org/immigration-updates These include important policy updates from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on payment of fees, anti-American discretionary factors, stricter "Good Moral Character" for naturalization applicants, significant changes to the naturalization exam, and USCIS Special Agents with new law enforcement authority. 
usccb.org/cabrinipledge  he United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is offering a “Cabrini Pledge” where Catholics can sign an online pledge to engage with Scripture and the Church’s social teaching, reflecting on the role of migration in salvation history, the history of the U.S., and the history of our own families.
Link to "PILGRIM OF HOPE"
 The bishops of Iowa released a pastoral reflection on immigration called “Pilgrims of Hope.” The purpose of our reflection is to help Catholics better understand the teaching of the Church as it relates to the issue of migration.
