CMSM serves the leadership of the Catholic orders and congregations of the more than 20,000 vowed religious priests and brothers of the United States, ten percent of whom are foreign missionaries. CMSM provides a voice for these communities in U.S. church and society. CMSM also collaborates with the U.S. bishops and other key groups and organizations that serve church and society.
June 2008
"One Saturday, while hearing confessions, a young man
tells me that he is in this country without authorization from immigration
authorities, and that his father is dying in Mexico. 'If I
go back to see him, there is a good chance that I will be arrested
when I return and then my children won't be able to eat. Is it a
sin not to be with my father when he is dying?' I am sure that I
would not have heard this sort of confession elsewhere in our country."
