The Washington State Catholic Conference, which represents the archdiocese of Seattle and the dioceses of Spokane and Yakima, has issued a pastoral statement on immigration reform to be included in all church bulletins.

Let's hope other bishops throughout the country are issuing similar statements to their flocks.
