We re all anxiously awaiting a return to normal. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend is no different.
While the vaccination of thousands more Hoosiers each week portends an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, new leadership in Washington, D.C., signifies a return to less restrictive immigration policies. Leaders of Catholic Charities, the nonprofit organization charged with helping the government resettle in Fort Wayne refugees fleeing persecution in their home countries, are hopeful the change from Donald Trump to Joe Biden means more help for more persecuted people.
Fort Wayne s Catholic Charities, a nonprofit faith-based organization, may be called on to help resettle a larger number of refugees if President Joe Biden s administration succeeds in upping the number of persecuted people being admitted to the United States.
