Picture
Pastoral Migratoria is a program begun in 2010 that invites Hispanic immigrants to respond to their baptismal call to holiness and engage in service and justice actions in their parish communities. Its purpose is to see the needs of the immigrant community and give support through workshops and personal support. Pastoral Migratoria also responds to the call to evangelize, bringing individuals and society closer to Christ. 
Pastoral Migratoria’s mission: To See, To Listen, To Proclaim. 
More than 200 lay leaders in 40 parishes actively participate in the program in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Leadership training is a six week program based in Catholic social teaching and the listen-learn-proclaim (see-judge-act) methodology.

Eight leaders have been trained at St. John XXIII. They meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Volunteers are also needed for workshops and other events.

Activities are held in Spanish, but fluency is not required. Those with limited Spanish can come to help and learn.
