Archdiocese celebrates National Migration Week with Mass

Auxiliary Bishop Mark Bartosic was the main celebrant during a multicultural Mass in observance of National Migration Week at Holy Name Cathedral on Jan. 5, 2019. This year’s National Migration Week theme was “Promoting a Church and World for All.” The Mass highlighted the ethnic diversity of the Archdiocese of Chicago through multilingual readings and music in languages such as English, Spanish, Polish, Swahili and Tagalog. The Mass included a Spanish choir from St. Michael the Archangel Church (Chicago), a Polish choir from Holy Trinity Church (Chicago) and a Tagalog choir from St. Martha Church (Morton Grove). Immigrants representing more than 30 countries participated in the Mass wearing their traditional attire. (Karen Callaway/ Chicago Catholic)
