California Bishop Says Catholics Can Skip Mass In Light Of ICE Raids
SHARE

The Catholic bishop of San Bernardino County, California, made an announcement on Tuesday, informing congregants that they are excused from attending Sunday services if they have a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions while at Mass. This move is in response to recent immigration raids and is part of the Catholic Church’s stance against the Trump administration’s policies.

Bishop Alberto Rojas, who recently spoke out against President Trump’s harsh immigration raids, emphasized that parishioners in the county can opt-out of attending Mass without it affecting their spiritual well-being. His decision was influenced by the Church’s mission to support those facing fear or adversity.

The decree comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered two parish properties in San Bernardino County, detaining several individuals. In response, Bishop Rojas issued a letter condemning the indiscriminate seizure of individuals and urging the administration to reconsider its tactics.

San Bernardino County, known as the sixth-largest Catholic diocese in the U.S., has been vocal in its support for migrants and refugees. Bishop Rojas’ announcement aligns with efforts by other Catholic leaders, like Bishop Michael Pham of San Diego, who called on clergy to support migrants during immigration court proceedings.

Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.-born pope, has also expressed opposition to Trump’s immigration policies, emphasizing the dignity and rights of migrants. Cardinal Robert McElroy, whose archdiocese covers Washington, D.C., criticized the immigration raids as inhumane and morally reprehensible.

The Catholic Church’s stance on immigration issues continues to be a significant topic of discussion, with leaders like Bishop Rojas taking a stand to protect the vulnerable and uphold human dignity.
