Immigration Sunday MN

Since 2009 the Catholic Bishops of Minnesota have designated a Sunday in January, typically the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, as Immigration Sunday Minnesota.  On this day we are reminded that all human being—regardless of ethnicity, nationality, race, creed or status—are “coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 3:6)  This includes newcomers to our country and state.

Immigration Sunday gives us an opportunity to learn more about the Church’s teaching on immigration and raise awareness about Minnesota immigration issues. This page offers resources for preparing an Immigration Sunday celebration in your parish. It is updated annually in late fall to reflect the appropriate readings.
