At the School of Leaders gathering on July 17, 2017, Deacon Noe Tuason led the discussion of immigration in the United State which is often a controversial issue with many social, economic, political and religious implications. The presentation reflected on the human struggle for a more dignified life and the search to find God in the midst of that struggle. A film, Dying to Live was shown to show the horrific human struggle to enter the United States. As Cursillistas what we need to know and what do we need to do.
What is the Church stand with respect to immigration? The U.S. bishops’ pastoral statement on welcoming the strangers among us, states that the unity in diversity is firmly grounded in the Church’s social teaching. There are three basic principles of Catholic social teaching on immigration:
First Principle:  People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.
Second Principle:  A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control immigration.
Third Principle:  A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy.
It is the position of the Catholic Church to encourage pastoral, educational, medical, and social services for the migrants but should never be conditioned on legal status. All persons are invited to participate in their parishes, attend schools, and receive other services offered. ​
