Don’t fall prey to immigration scammers. We have said it before, immigrants and those supporting them must be careful when seeking help with immigration’s legal issues. Always seek help from attorneys experienced in immigration law. Do not be fooled by notaries or other scammers who cannot produce the results they claim. Catholic Immigration Network provides a resource page to help identify those who will take unfair advantage.
Spiritually, join Pope Francis in praying for Ukraine. The Holy Father has invited Catholics throughout the world to join him in praying the rosary for peace in Ukraine.

There will be no broadcast but the faithful may pray the rosary in spiritual union with the Pope.
