Walking Alongside Migrants and Their Families: Caring for Those Who Care

Join the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Catholic Health Association (CHA), National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC), and Ascension for a one-hour webinar exploring how pastoral, healthcare, and social service professionals can faithfully accompany migrants and immigrant families while also caring for themselves and one another. 

For those serving in migration ministry, the need for supportive care for caregivers has never been greater. Grounded in Catholic social teaching and the Church's call to accompany migrants, this webinar will examine practical approaches to providing comprehensive care and fostering renewal while walking alongside migrants and their families. Participants will gain tools and resources to sustain their ministry, strengthen their capacity for compassionate service, and identify opportunities for continued collaboration, advocacy, and engagement through the Justice for Immigrants initiative and partner organizations.
