June Catholic Charities’ President’s Corner

This month is an important month for me, on several levels, not the least of which is that I, too, am a transplant to the United States. I, similar to many others, arrived alone, afraid and limited by language.Though my situation was different from what we think of when we think of the “refugee” or “immigrant” experience, I still understand the fear and trepidation which comes along with being a stranger in a strange land. I also know the power of a comforting smile and a helping hand. With that experience tucked away in my head and heart, I am so proud to lead an organization which helps to resettle those fleeing the unspeakable; unsafe and horrific homelands.
