Bishop Weisenburger: Comment to Gov. Ducey on letter of consent

 

 

I am deeply grateful to Governor Doug Ducey who today (Dec. 6, 2019) signed a letter of consent allowing refugee programs to continue in Arizona. Governor Ducey’s action makes it possible for us to continue the refugee resettlement work of our Catholic Community Services. Refugee resettlement is a critical ministry which we, along with a great many dioceses across our nation, have provided for many years. Providing aid to those in dire need and who are fearing for their lives is an important part of Catholic teaching. Again, and on behalf of the people of the Diocese of Tucson, I am truly grateful for this action. – Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger.
