>>>SALT LAKE CITY — June 15 marked a special day for hundreds of thousands of undocumented young people living in the United States. On that day, President Barack Obama issued an executive order that directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to stop deportations of those who would be eligible to participate in the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act — commonly known as the Dream Act, federal legislation that was proposed, but never approved, by Congress to grant permanent residency to certain undocumented young people.

>>>On Monday, May 21, 43 Catholic entities filed 12 separate lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, among other defendants, and the HHS rule requiring employers to provide prescription contraception coverage with an extremely narrow exemption for houses of worship.

>>>Each Sunday, and hopefully more often, we come together as Catholics to share in the Eucharist and celebrate our beliefs with one another. When we leave Mass, we take our experience of communion with God out into the world. As a Church, we share our beliefs by, among many other things, aiding refugees, educating children, and serving meals to those who would otherwise go without.

Cada domingo y ojalá fuera más seguido, nos reunimos como Católicos para compartir la Eucaristía y para celebrar nuestras creencias. Cuando salimos de Misa llevamos las experiencias de la comunión con Dios al mundo. Como Iglesia. Compartimos nuestras creencias entre muchas otras cosas, ayuda a los refugiados, educando a los niños, y sirviendo comidas a aquellos que de otra manera no comerían.
