During the past six weeks, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis has been strengthening the foundation for their latest program, the Catholic Accompaniment and Reflection Experience, or CARE. During the program’s recent kickoff event, Theresa Chamblee, the director of Social Concerns at Catholic Charities Indianapolis, looked out at a room filled with 20 church members at St. Monica’s Parish. She listened as a parishioner said, “nunca pensé que a nadie le importara,” which translates to “I just never thought anyone cared.” At this critical moment, Chamblee knew the program was going to make a difference for many. The CARE program pairs undocumented immigrants and their families with fellow Catholics willing and able to walk with immigrants on their often complex journey in the United States.
