In moments of crisis and division, we are called to unite in hope and solidarity.

As threats of family separation, detention, and deportation rise, people of faith across the country are coming together to publicly stand with migrant and refugee communities. The Missionaries of Hope Toolkit, developed in partnership with Jesuit Refugee Service/USA, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Hope Border Institute, and Justice for Immigrants, equips individuals, parishes, and dioceses with everything they need to organize prayerful, public witness rooted in Catholic teaching.

What’s Inside the Toolkit

Whether you’re preparing a parish vigil, an interfaith rally, or a diocesan-wide event for World Day of Migrants and Refugees (October 4–5, 2025) or National Migration Week (September 22–28, 2025), this guide will walk you through:

• Planning timelines
• Printable program templates for rallies and vigils
• Key Catholic social teaching on migration
• Scripture reflections and prayers, including Deuteronomy 10:17–19 and Matthew 25:35–40
• Volunteer coordination and parish outreach guides
• Know Your Rights resources in English and Spanish
• Communication templates for media, social media, and Op-Eds
• A collection of book of prayers and saints who walked with migrants
• Printable signs, flyers, and event graphics

“So you, too, must befriend the alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.”
— Deuteronomy 10:19

Today, more than 10 million undocumented people live in the U.S. under constant threat of deportation. The Catholic Church calls on each of us to be present—to raise our voices, to accompany those who are vulnerable, and to remind our communities that migration is a human reality, not a political abstraction
