    • Abstract:
      In a third-floor classroom of a Chicago urban Catholic school, about 25 adults gathered on a chilly October night to learn about Catholic social justice teaching and how to take steps to make it happen. The seven-class program, organized through the Archdiocese of Chicago's Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity's Immigration Ministry, trains Hispanic and Polish lay leaders to help fellow immigrants in their parishes. The Archdiocese of Chicago's Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity's Immigration Ministry presents a yearly immigration film festival that travels from parish to parish during National Migration Week (the second week of January).
