2022 Speaker Series
Immigrant Catholicism in the U.S.
Starting on January 18, our new speaker series will be taking a look at several different
immigrant/migrant communities in the U.S. Catholic Church--Filipino, Polish, Vietnamese, Mexican, and Black Catholics. Join us to explore their stories, their challenges, and their contributions.
Please note: We are planning to hold these events in person, with the requirement that attendees show proof of vaccination (or negative COVID test results received within 72 hours of the event) and wear a mask/face covering, which DePaul currently requires for everyone indoors, regardless of vaccination status. We will be monitoring the COVID situation and follow the university's lead to make adjustments as necessary.
