Catholics across Southern California are being called to pray for immigrants at a special Mass on Sept. 7 amid a contentious immigration climate that has seen children separated from their parents at the border and Mexican nationals killed in a mass shooting in Texas.
It is the eighth year that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has held the Mass in Recognition of all Immigrants, but Archbishop José Gomez noted in a statement that this year’s service has particular relevance.
"In light of the tensions in our country and the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas recently, we pray especially this year for the grace to help our society see our common humanity," said Gomez, who will preside over the Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

I am an Episcopalian. I shall pray for the immigrants. I prayed for the children; separated from their parents at the border; and, I prayed for all of the Mexican Nationals killed during the mass shooting at El Paso, Texas. PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
