Dr. Jim Pierce, pastor Come meet Jesus at P eace L utheran C hurch needs to be critical of pres- idential administrations at times, DiNardo said, adding that it’s essential the bishops remain engaged. He pointed to the conference’s statement critical of Trump’s travel ban. “We’re willing to register that and state that,” he said. “But we always want to be able to work with every administration.” DiNardo, 67, who came to Houston in 2004 as archbishop after more than six years as bishop in Sioux City, Iowa, believes most immigrants and refugees come to the U.S. for economic reasons or to flee violence in their home coun- tries. While he agrees with the Trump administration’s stance that criminals should be deported, he doesn’t want to see immigrant families separated. Churches have been relying on a 2011 Immigra- tion and Customs Enforce- ment directive telling agents to generally avoid “sensitive areas” such as churches, hospitals and schools when conducting deportation actions. Immigration officials said that policy is still in effect, but recent immigration arrests around the U.S., including inside courthouses, are increasing fears. DiNardo believes the rhet- oric in the U.S. on hot-button issues including immigration and abortion is too heated. “You’d like to lower the temperature so people will speak to each other too,” he said. BRIEFLY BOARDMAN — An Easter breakfast will be served at 9:30 a.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 420 Locust Road, Boardman. The public is invited to attend.

PENDLETON — Grace Baptist Church invites the public to join them during Easter weekend activities at the church, 2809 S.W. Goodwin Ave., Pendleton. inside and outside the U.S. In his first extended interview since his more than 400 fellow bishops in November elected him to a three-year term as president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, DiNardo said the conference has had “quiet initial talks” with the White House to arrange a session between him and Trump. The White House had no comment Wednesday on prospects for a meeting, although such a session would continue a common practice for the head of the bishops’ conference to confer with the U.S. president. “Right now seems to me the administration is still too early,” DiNardo said, but offered no timetable on when would be reasonable. “They’re still working on getting their act together. It’s a massive thing to do to take over a federal administration.” Trump has taken a firm stance on immigration, passing executive orders to tighten border security and restrict refugees and travelers from certain countries. Home- land Security Secretary John Kelly has credited Trump’s policies and widely publi- cized arrests of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally for a huge drop in the number of people caught by agents on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Boardman church sets Easter breakfast, message Church hosts Passover meal, Easter service HOUSTON (AP) — The top Roman Catholic bishop in the U.S. lauds President Donald Trump for his anti-abortion views, for comments on the importance of Catholic schools and for promising to defend religious liberties. When it comes to refugees and immigration, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo says he and Trump will “have to agree to disagree.” In a wide- ranging inter- DiNardo view with The Associated Press, DiNardo, the archbishop for Galves- ton-Houston and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, expressed concerns about Trump’s now court-stalled executive order blocking immigration from six Muslim-majority nations and about the effects the Trump administration’s immigration policies could have on families. “We have kids in our Catholic schools that are crying during the day,” DiNardo said. “They’re not sure whether their mommy or daddy is going to be home at night when they get back from school. ... There’s no reason why that has to happen.” DiNardo in 2007 became the first Catholic cardinal in the Southern United States, an area where Catholicism has flourished as more people have moved there, from both Redeemer Episcopal Church St. Johns Episcopal Church Join Us On Our Journey With Jesus. 241 SE Second St. Pendleton (541)276-3809 www.pendletonepiscopal.org Scripture, Tradition and Reason Sunday Holy Communion 9:00 a.m. Wednesday Holy Communion Noon Weekly Adults Spiritual Life Group Family service 9am Sunday N.E.
