According to the latest statistics, there are about 37.5 million immigrants in the U.S., a little more than 12 percent of the population. According to the Department of Homeland Security, almost a third of them are undocumented. Clearly the plight of immigrants is a  

growing concern. Many in the Church are working for immigration reform and, at St.  

Mary’s Church on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, they gathered with other faith communities to show their support.
