La solemnidad de Corpus Christi, que celebra la presencia real y viva de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía, adquirió un significado especial para la comunidad católica inmigrante en la misa celebrada en la parroquia Sagrado Corazón y luego en la procesión realizada por las calles del Distrito de Columbia, el domingo 7 de junio de 2026.

The noonday sun shone over Columbia Heights in Northwest Washington, D.C., as people moved between corner markets and families pushed strollers past Salvadoran pupuserías, Dominican and Mexican restaurants, pho shops and fruit vendors shaded beneath bright umbrellas.

As Catholics from all over the world observed Corpus Christi by processing through the streets to celebrate the Eucharist, about 300 parishioners in Washington, D.C., did the same—with a specific focus on honoring the dignity of immigrants.

LA CROSSE (WKBT) -- The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and Viterbo Campus Ministry invited the public to participate in a Eucharistic procession today. The event is part of a "Season of Faithful Witness." The group is calling attention to public policies they say are causing suffering. The sisters say this includes topics like immigration, racism, health care and food assistance.

The Feast of Corpus Christi, also known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, honors the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. It occurs on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. This year, it was Thursday, June 4. For greater Mass and procession attendance, however, the Church in the United States and several other episcopal conferences designate the following Sunday for observance of Corpus Christi Sunday; this year, June 7.

(Vatican News) — Pope Leo XIV has encouraged the faithful to keep alive the public witness of faith made visible in Eucharistic processions, recalling that this week the Church celebrates the solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi.

The organization Catholics in Communion is helping people rediscover practices of public faith that are prayerful, communal, sacramental, and rooted in human dignity.

Earlier this year, Catholics began gathering outside detention centers, in parish halls, on sidewalks, after Masses, and in neighborhood streets across the country with a shared question: What does faithful witness look like in this moment?

Dozens of people gathered on May 2, 2026, for a protest outside an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Catholics in Communion organized the protest to call for an end to ICE detention at the Miami Correctional Facility near Bunker Hill, Indiana.

A group of Catholic and Christian faith leaders said it has been granted daily access to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview, Illinois, since May 15 under a milestone agreement with immigration officials.

The Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL), a Chicago-based Catholic and Christian advocacy group, said in a May 19 press release that it has struck a deal with ICE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allows “daily pastoral visits.”

Han pasado 135 años desde su promulgación, pero la Rerum Novarum de León XIII constituye un instrumento aún muy válido para afrontar la evolución social, tecnológica y económica en curso con la mirada del Evangelio, de la solidaridad, del bien común y del desarrollo humano integral. “Cada época tiene sus cosas nuevas, pero la pregunta sobre la dignidad del hombre permanece siempre la misma”, afirma el padre Giacomo Costa, acompañante espiritual de las Acli nacionales y colaborador de la Secretaría general del Sínodo. “Una pregunta fundamental —prosigue— para todo compromiso y toda lectura de la realidad por parte de todos los creyentes y de todos los cristianos”.

WASHINGTON (OSV News) — A group of U.S. bishops, most from the U.S.-Mexico border region, wrote a May 20 letter to members of Congress expressing “grave concern” with budget legislation that would provide an additional $72 billion for immigration enforcement.

Un grupo de obispos de Estados Unidas, que en su mayoría dirigen diócesis cerca de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México, escribió el 20 de mayo una carta a los miembros del Congreso en la que expresaban su "profunda preocupación" por la legislación presupuestaria que destinaría 72.000 millones de dólares adicionales para medidas de aplicación de las leyes de inmigración.

The Season of Faithful Witness is a national Catholic movement calling individuals, parishes, and communities to live their faith through visible, collective public witness.

Rafaela did not come to Nogales looking for certainty. She came looking for safety.

After fleeing violence with her children, Rafaela spent more than half a year in Nogales, waiting for the chance to move forward. The waiting was long and heavy, marked by uncertainty about what would come next. Yet even in that prolonged limbo, Rafaela speaks not only of fear or loss, but of something else she found along the way: community.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed a man who had once entered the United States as an undocumented immigrant, hidden in the trunk of a car, as the new bishop of West Virginia.

Hundreds of people held Catholic Mass outside the Indianapolis Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on the city’s westside Saturday. Speakers at the service spoke against detainments and deportations.
