Catholic bishops visit Adelanto ICE Center to pray in solidarity with immigrants
Six of California’s Catholic bishops visited the Adelanto ICE Processing Center on Wednesday, Dec. 10, to celebrate Mass with the detainees inside the facility.
The visit was part of the California Catholic Conference’s ongoing pastoral outreach to migrants, refugees and those facing immigration proceedings.
The Catholic leaders followed Mass with a press conference at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church to discuss their visit, the dignity of immigrants, the Church’s commitment to accompaniment and the urgent need for humane treatment of all individuals in detention.
