ARCHDIOCESE OF DETROIT www.aod.org BOOK & GIFT SHOP Open weekends before & after Masses Welcome The Stranger Detroit s Archbishop Vigneron Speaks on Immigration and Refugee Resettlement At the close of the annual St. Patrick s Day Mass in Detroit s Corktown neighborhood, Archbishop Allen Vigneron spoke on the national dialogue underway about issues of immigration and refugee resettlement. The archbishop pointed to the historical parallels of those who founded Most Holy Trinity Parish 183 years ago and the struggles of...those who in good faith seek to immigrate to our country or look to find here a refuge from violence. We find ourselves blessed once again this year to be in Most Holy Trinity Church for the celebration of the memorial of St. Patrick, the father in faith of the Irish. Like many of you, I cannot help but remember as well the founders of this Parish, the original band of Irish-Catholics in our City. In thinking of them, we recall the desperate struggles that led them to leave their beloved homeland, and the aspirations and hopes that brought them here to make this their new homeland, no less beloved. It is good to remember them and their history in these days when our elected leaders are engaged in addressing national concerns about immigration and refugee resettlement. In taking up these difficult policy matters, they are rightly mindful of their duty to ensure public safety and the legal integrity of the civil order. With an eye to the founders of this parish, I ask you to join me in reaffirming also the need for us and our leaders in these policy deliberations to keep faith with our noble heritage of welcoming the stranger to join us in sharing the blessings that come from being a free people. The poem inscribed on the Statue of Liberty asks the world to give us [their] tired and poor, the huddles masses yearning to be free This daring invitation is not only a testimony to the generous solidarity that has made us a great nation, but it also anticipates a bold confidence in the future that awaits all those who seek to be part of the American Experiment in ordered liberty. It is a shame that when the founders of Most Holy Trinity Church came to the United States it was not uncommon to find signs that read Irish need not apply. Today, on this St. Patrick s Day, let us make it our resolve that those who in good faith seek to immigrate to our country or look to find here a refuge from violence will not endure any like indignity, but will be welcomed to make their contribution to the common good. Archbishop Allen Vigneron Archbishop of Detroit 17 March 2017
