Catholic Charities continues to work with the Archdiocese of Chicago, plus city, state and community partners to assist the 12,000 asylum seekers who have arrived recently in Chicago. More than 40 families have now been matched with parishes, for up to six months through the Parish Family Sponsorship Program. This program provides direct assistance, financial aid, or both to these families in dire need as they get established.
