Blessings and congratulations to those who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on April 25 at St. Pius V parish! They have worked hard to learn and grow in their faith and prepare for this grace-filled moment in their life journey.

We send a special thanks to their catechists, teachers, godparents and parents, priests, Bishop García-Maldonado, and all who accompanied them on this path of preparation.

May the Holy Spirit, with the support of our family of faith, continue to strengthen and guide them!

Apoyando a Nuestra Parroquia y Comunidad

Desde nuestra fundación en la década de 1870, la parroquia de San Pío V se ha comprometido a servir a la comunidad inmigrante en Pilsen y en los vecindarios circundantes. En estos días, sequimos en esa misión y mantenemos firme el principio básico de la doctrina social de la Iglesia de que todas las personas, creadas a imagen de Dios, merecen dignidad y respeto.

Como comunidad de fe, estamos alineados con las enseñanzas de nuestra iglesia local, la Arquidiócesis de Chicago y el Cardenal Cupich, quien aboga públicamente por los derechos y el bienestar de los inmigrantes. También apoyamos los esfuerzos de la Ciudad de Chicago, una Ciudad Santuario, y del Estado de Illinois para proteger y empoderar a todos los residentes.

Si usted está preocupado por su propia seguridad o la seguridad de su familia, o para obtener más información sobre los derechos de los inmigrantes, nuestra organización hermana, The Resurrection Project, es un excelente recurso. Su sitio de web ofrece instrucciones claras sobre cómo prepararse y responder: https://www.trpimmigrantjustice.org/resourcehub
