Diocesan Catholic Charities partnered with American Immigration
Lawyers Association to host a citizenship day workshop, assisting more than 30
individuals to prepare and apply for U.S. citizenship in Alexandria Sept. 13.
“Catholic Charities’ and AILA’s partnership on this workshop
helps men and women working, often at great personal cost to themselves and
their families, to achieve the dream of U.S. citizenship,” said Art Bennett,
Catholic Charities president and CEO. “Each participant is a story of courage
and hope. Our mutual commitment to working with these immigrants demonstrates
our respect for the dignity of each and every human person and a desire for
them to flourish in our country.”
The workshop, which included consultation and application
preparation for attendees, is one of approximately eight to 10 workshops
Catholic Charities offers annually.
