Chaplain's Chatter: Thoughts, Reflections and Musings from the Catholic Chaplain
Greetings Everyone,
Tonight at our 7:00PM Mass we will welcome Father Jesus Flores, a native of Mexico and the coordinator of the Diocese of Rochester’s Migrant Ministry. Catholic Migrant Ministry is rooted in the church's teaching that we all are sisters and brothers. It seeks to build up migrant workers as people of faith. It also fosters a mutual sharing of gifts, both material and spiritual, between all migrant workers and the other faith communities of the Diocese of Rochester.
The Migrant Ministry of the Rochester diocese embraces the growing number of migrants, actively reach out to identify their needs, provide support for their faith formation, promote community, solidarity and justice, and offer support in crisis situations.
Here are some quick facts:
~ Twenty thousand migrant workers labor in our fields, dairy farms, factories, greenhouses, and restaurants.
~ Migrant workers have been coming in to our diocese from Mexico, Central and South America in increasing numbers.
~ The majority of migrant workers are Catholic.
~ The diocese has initiated mission sites in Sodus, Geneva, Brockport and Mt. Morris to support migrant workers.
~ Full and part-time ministers are serving the camps throughout our 12 counties.
Please join us on Sunday as we welcome Fr. Jesus to Nazareth!
Peace,
~ Jamie

About Gregory J. Boyle . . .
Jesuit priest, author, speaker, and world-renowned expert in gang intervention, Gregory J. Boyle is the founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, California. From 1986 to 1992, Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church, then the poorest Catholic parish in the city, located between two large public housing projects and the territories of numerous gangs. There he and parish and community members started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, now the largest, most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and reentry program in the world. Homeboy trains and employs former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to more than 10,000 people who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life.
The author of the 2010 New York Times bestselling book Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Fr. Boyle is the subject of Academy Award-winner Freida Lee Mock’s 2012 documentary GDog. A recipient of the California Peace Prize, Boyle was inducted into the California Hall of Fame, named a Champion of Change by the White House, and awarded the 2016 Humanitarian of the Year award by the James Beard Foundation.
