Immigration: National Migration Week is January 7-14, 2018 . The theme “Many Journeys, One Family.” reminds us that in our contemporary culture, we often fail to encounter migrants as people, instead seeing them as unknown others, if we even notice them at all. We do not take the time to engage migrants in a meaningful way, as children of God. Rather, we remain aloof, suspicious or fearful. During National Migration Week, let us all take the opportunity to engage migrants as community members, neighbors and friends.
