Bishops’ pastoral letter on immigration:
A Hundred Thousand Welcomes?
The Irish bishops’ have launched a new pastoral letter A Hundred Thousand Welcomes? The theme of A Hundred Thousand Welcomes? is about people welcoming the migrant in contemporary Ireland as modelled by the parable of the Good Samaritan. The pastoral letter encourages people to welcome the migrant and to reject voices that attempt to sore division and also calls on State authorities to provide more services at a community level.
