Benedictine Sisters of Virginia Benedictine Sisters of Virginia Statement regarding Immigration Endorsed by the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia In the spirit of the Gospel and the inspiration of St. Benedict we as members of the Conference of Benedictine Prioresses CBP representing more than 1100 sisters commit ourselves to Christlike hospitality. Therefore we call upon our leaders especially governors state legislators members of the United States Congress and our president to reconsider proposed immigration policies and to work towards solutions that uphold the dignity and rights of all people. We urge them to create pathways to citizenship for immigrants provide humane treatment for those in detention and ensure that immigrant families are not torn apart.
