Immigration

Cardinal Blase J. Cupich of Chicago reassured migrants in his archdiocese that reports of a possible mass deportation by a new administration in Washington that would target the Chicago area “wound us deeply.”

With the help of The Good Shepherd, the Diocese of Hamilton’s Office for Refugees is ensuring new Canadians are not left behind this Christmas season.

The recent mood swing against immigration, in a nation of immigrants whose people have always been welcoming to the outsider, is disappointing to those who work with migrants, but the hope is this will not endure.
