Illuminating Catholics
Assisting immigrants and refugees - conversation with Welcome program staff
Revathi Vongsiprasom, immigration attorney, and Norma Garza-Ramirez, case manager, of the Welcome program of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Sioux City serve many of the immigrants and refugees in northwest Iowa. They shared the challenges and struggles of their clients and ways they can assist. With the increased immigration enforcement in recent months, there is growing fear and uncertainty. Learn the facts from Revathi and Norma and how they work to serve immigrants and refugees in our communities and our parishes.
Welcome is a cooperative effort of Catholic Charities, Siouxland Immigration Law and the Diocese of Sioux City. You can reach Welcome at ngarza-ramirez@cathchar.com or call (712) 252-4547.
