Front cover of the Summer 2025 edition of MCC’s Focus publication, “Catholic Education: A Public Benefit to the State of Michigan”

This edition of Focus looks at how Catholic schools serve a diverse population of students and families, transforming lives by forming children into virtuous members of society. Rich or poor, Catholic or non-Catholic, and children of all learning abilities are welcomed into Catholic schools across Michigan, primarily due to the Church’s efforts to make Catholic education financially feasible to those who want it, and despite constitutional restrictions on public aid for nonpublic schools.

Front cover of MCC’s Spring 2025 edition of Focus, “Seeing Christ in the Immigrant”

How should Catholics think about immigration and the migrants who land here? This edition of Focus shares how the Church’s perspective on immigration is guided by the fundamental Catholic social doctrines of upholding human dignity and caring for the poor and vulnerable. This publication features the stories of immigrants who have traveled to Michigan, explains why and how the Church serves migrants, and answers frequently-asked questions about Church teachings on immigration.
