A WORD FROM FR. IVAN
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Sunday we celebrate the Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings. It is also called the
Christmas of the pagan/foreigners, since these three kings represent the pagan and non
Jews. The three Kings had made a long and risky journey to arrive to Bethlehem to find the
King of Kings.
On this same Sunday the Catholic Church in Minnesota designated this Sunday to be Immigration Sunday. Our
Church has been founded by immigrants in the late 1800s. More than a century after we are still an immigrant
parish. This is thanks to the openness to welcome our brothers and sisters from the Karenni and the Karen
community. To welcome and be open to the needy and vulnerable of our society always brings a blessing. I am
sure that the Lord will continue to bless our parish as we strive to be witnesses of unity.
The church always has defended the immigrant and the refugee. Here are some of the teachings that our bishops
have handed over to us.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
1911: Internal quote is from Gaudium et Spes: “The unity of the human family, embracing people who enjoy
equal natural dignity, implies a universal common good. This good calls for an organization of the community of
nations able to provide ‘for men’s different needs, both in the fields of social life—such as food supplies, health,
education, labor and also in certain special circumstances which can crop up here and there, e.g., the need to
promote the general improvement of developing countries, or to alleviate the distressing conditions in which
refugees dispersed throughout the world find themselves, or also to assist migrants and their families. to alleviate
the distressing conditions in which refugees dispersed throughout the world find themselves, or also to assist
migrants and their families.’”
2211: “The political community has a duty to honor the family, to assist it, and to ensure especially… the right to
private property, to free enterprise, to obtain work and housing, and the right to emigrate.”
2241: “The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of
the security and means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to
it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.”
2433: “Access to employment and to professions must be hope to all without unjust discrimination; men and
women, healthy and disabled, natives and immigrants. For its part society should, according to circumstances, help
citizens find work and employment.”
God bless! Wishing you a blessed Sunday.
