Fr. Brendan helped create and now serves on the steering committee of the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition (IBIC) which in February sponsored a panel at DePaul University. Panelists included Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George and former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert. A Republican, Hastert called for legalization of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in the country. “My own party must acknowledge and embrace ever-growing Latino and Asian constituencies,” he said. “We should provide them with a path to citizenship.”

Cardinal George made the moral case for immigration reform and deplored increases in deportations. “Our churches have too many families torn apart by our immigration laws, too many good people who only want to be Americans, to work and be safe in their homes. I know that our nation’s soul requires that we treat them fairly.”

 

St. Pius V School Fundraiser

Posted on by

You are invited to join us on May 1, 2014, for the 8th annual St. Pius V School scholarship fundraiser, Noche Mexicana! We will return to the energizing atmosphere of Carnivale, 702 W Fulton St., Chicago, IL 60661, for our celebration and silent auction.

Proceeds will provide financial assistance for families unable to afford full tuition at St. Pius V school.

Choosing Catholic education can be difficult. Our parents make sacrifices to enroll their children in St. Pius V School. Without the scholarship funds that Noche Mexicana provides, our school would not be an option for many students. Your participation has a direct, positive impact on the lives of our students and their families.
