Catholic parishes are called to build communion with immigrants and newcomers so people unite in faith rather than solely because of their cultural backgrounds, said the bishop of Brooklyn, N.Y., who has worked for 38 years to improve immigrant relations.
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, former executive director of Migration and Refugee Services for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, told a Feb. 24 conference on the integration of immigrants into the Catholic Church that in U.S. parishes, immigrants and longtime members can learn from each other if they are open to doing so.
