September 5, 2017

The following is a statement by Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger regarding DACA: 

I urge you to take action on this critical matter and contact your representatives in Congress in hopes of advancing legislation that will provide due process and family stability with compassion and dignity to the 800,000 men, women, and children who stand to be affected by the reversal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
