Catherine's Caring Cause

Catherine's Caring Cause We are a non-profit dedicated to aiding asylum seekers on Chicago's southside. The Sisters’ current ministry is Catherine’s Caring Cause.

If you would be so kind as to support us, we accept donations through Venmo - Our Mission
The mission of Catherine's Caring Cause is to provide unwavering support, resources, and empowerment to asylum seekers as they navigate the challenging journey toward a better life. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and compassionate community where every asylum seeker is respected, protec

ted and empowered to build a brighter future. We are guided by the core principles of Mother Catherine McAuley's life and work, and her embodiment of the values of hospitality, mercy and love. Our History
The Central American conflict in the 1980’s started Mercy Sisters Pat Murphy and JoAnn Persch on their decades-long path to helping asylum seekers. Initially, they were part of a group of religious women who formed a public sanctuary and helped a family from El Salvador. This led the duo to open the Su Casa Catholic Worker in 1990 for Central American victims of torture. Their 2007 work as Mercy justice coordinators in Chicago resulted in forming the Interfaith Community for Detained Immigrants - both Su Casa and ICDI continue helping immigrants to this day.
