SUPPORT the 

"CATHOLIC IMMIGRANT CENTERS" PILOT PROJECT

As a collaboration between the Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform (CCIR) and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the "Catholic Immigrant Centers" respond to the Gospel call to "Welcome the Stranger" and will serve the unmet basic needs of immigrants in the Archdiocese of Chicago in order to foster their integration into community, parish and civic life.

Goal of "Catholic Immigrant Centers" Pilot Project

Establish up to 10 parish-based immigrant service centers across the Archdiocese of Chicago from 2008-2010. In the communities they will operate, these centers will welcome, integrate and minister to immigrants, providing them a core set of culturally-sensitive anchor services.

For more information or to discuss how you or your organization can become involved in this initiative, please contact:

Elena Segura, Director of the Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform, at 312-751-5333 or esegura@archchicago.org.
