By seeking better life, migrants teach hope, determination, pope says
Migrants demonstrate what hope is, and the Catholic Church must support them to keep that hope alive, Pope Francis said.
‘Can I buy a chocolate bar?’
After buses from Texas began arriving in Chicago in August 2022, the first migrant who came through our doors at Catholic Charities’ St. Gall office was a young man who had walked from downtown Chicago to 55th Street and Kedzie Avenue.

Pope Francis: ‘I too am a child of migrants’
The Catholic Church can draw closer to Jesus by accompanying migrants in their pursuit of a better life, Pope Francis said.
The human face of immigration
As Pope Francis has often said, “reality is greater than ideas.” That phrase comes to mind as I reflect on the ill-tempered remarks that are reported in the media vilifying migrants entering the United States. Words such as “criminals” and “terrorists,” among other depictions that portray these suffering families as subhuman because of their ethnicity or race, are very disturbing and just plain wrong. These words, and the ideas behind them, do not match the reality that we as a church have experienced over centuries of welcoming newcomers.

More than 100 migrants who had been staying at the Carleton of Oak Park Hotel and West Cook YMCA were expected to move into a temporary transitional family shelter in the former St. Edmund School building at the end of February.
Grad student creates Stations of the Cross with migration theme
When Jacqueline Romo was considering what to do for her senior thesis project at Dominican University in 2019, she drew on her personal and faith journeys for inspiration and created “The Passion of the Monarca Migrante,” which uses the monarch butterfly and the plight of migrants to depict the Stations of the Cross.
Welcoming our new neighbors
During a recent meeting, several priests shared with me the concerns of parishioners to know more about what the archdiocese has been doing to care for recently arrived migrants and asylum seekers. What follows is a brief summary, which I ask you to share with friends and neighbors, if it would be helpful.
