Yet, many face systemic barriers, discrimination, and the painful expectation to assimilate rather than be embraced for who they are. Sharing from his personal experience, Rev. Cruz Edwin Santos shares how the Church has a vital role in advocating for immigrant families\u2014offering support, standing against injustice, and fostering true inclusion. He writes that now is the time to act, to listen, to share stories, and to embody Christ\u2019s call to love our neighbors."}
