A new wave of immigrants is arriving. More and more of the menial jobs clerking downtown and beyond are filled by folks for whom English is their second or third language. This must have been what it was like with the major immigrations to our country a century ago. The languages then were German and Norwegian, Polish and Italian, Czeck and Hungarian, Russian and French, and more. F or Catholic immigrants, the Eucharist is recognizable anywhere, and other traditions of our Faith can help them feel at home more quickly.
Hospitality is a movement of the heart.
