Special Statement On President Joseph Biden's Immigration Reforms

For 100 years, Catholic Charities has provided help, hope, and even a home to immigrants and refugees. Now, we welcome the actions taken this week by President Biden to address some of the brokenness of America’s immigration system. They move away from the toxic rhetoric and harmful actions of recent years, and signal a new direction that speaks to the best of our nation’s values.

Accustomed To Helping Others, They Now Find Themselves In Need

From The New York Times, Manny Rosario, 85, had been a long-time volunteer for Catholic Charities New York. He and his late wife, worked in a pantry, keeping records and packing shelves. They visited the sick and the dying. He doesn’t volunteer anymore; he isn’t well enough and it’s not safe because of the pandemic. Manny has gone from serving others to being a recipient of home-delivered food & groceries, as well as wellness calls from the Homebound Program.
