St. Sabina feeds migrants living at police station

Members of St. Sabina Parish, along with Father Michael Pfleger, prepared food to pass out to migrants that were staying at 6th District Police Station, as well as any homeless, on Oct. 19, 2023. For the last few months, St. Sabina has worked closely with the 6th District Police Department to care for the migrants who have been staying there regularly dropping of food and hygiene supplies. The parish has also been helping migrants who come to the church. Each day about 20 migrants come to the church office seeking assistance, with St. Sabina giving out food cards, bus cards, and having helped eight families with first month’s rent for apartments they have found.
