Most Blessed Sacrament Parish

In his I Believe column this week, Archbishop Henning reflects on the meaning of “God Bless America,” recalling the unity and prayer that followed 9/11 and connecting it to today’s divisions. As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he invites us to remember America’s founding vision, honor its unfinished work, and pray for healing, peace, and unity across the country.

A message from Archbishop Henning:

Haitian Catholics are an important part of the family of the Archdiocese of Boston. Many of them benefit from Temporary Protected Status, a program established by Congress to give refuge to those who are fleeing natural disasters or violence.

The Administration has decided to terminate that protected status for more than 6,100 Syrians and more than 300,000 Haitians in the United States despite the ongoing instability and dangerous conditions facing many in their home countries. Here in the Boston region, Haitian immigrants have made lives, raised families, and have taken critical roles in health care and in other industries.

I respectfully ask that we urge the administration and Congress to prevent this disaster by providing a secure and lasting basis for these refugees. Please see the link below where you can learn more about this matter and consider raising your voice on behalf of the vulnerable."
