General Announcements

Catholic Charities to host ‘Intake Day’ for immigrants eligible for deferred action

Catholic Charities Immigration Legal Services and the Local Organizing Committee at St. Philip Neri Parish in Indianapolis are hosting a presentation and “Intake Day” for immigrants eligible to apply for deferred action.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Nov. 10 at St. Philip Neri Parish, 550 N. Rural Ave., in Indianapolis.

The Obama administration announced on June 15, 2012, that it will stop deporting young adults who came to the U.S. as children, and it will use its administrative authority to grant, on a case-by-case basis, deferred action and work authorization to young people.

Those who will be eligible for such deferred action for two years—subject to renewal—include people who arrived in the U.S. before age 16 and younger than 30, have been in the U.S. for at least five continuous years, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a general education degree (GED) or served in the U.S. armed forces, and “have not been convicted of a felony offense, significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses or pose a threat to national security or public safety.”

There is no deadline to apply for deferred action.

Catholic Charities recommends that each person take their time, collect all of the required documents, and fill out the application completely and correctly.

(For more information about what to bring to the meeting, log on to www.archindy.org/cc/refugee/news.html. For questions, call 317-236-1596, the Spanish help line, or 317-236-1517, the English help line.)

Parish sponsors three holy hours before the election on Nov. 6

Each holy hour will begin at 6:30 p.m.

On Nov. 3, Father Michael Magiera, associate pastor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Indianapolis, will preach a sermon titled “The Church, America and the Juggernaut.”

On Nov. 4, Msgr. Joseph Schaedel, pastor of St. Luke Parish, will deliver a sermon titled “Catholic Conscience.”

And on Nov. 5, Msgr. Schaedel will conclude the three holy hours with a sermon titled “What Can Tomorrow Bring?”
