"Nearly two million Hispanic live in metropolitan Chicago, representing in excess of 20% of the region’s total population and constituting the third largest Hispanic community in the United States. Contrary to the prevailing view, Hispanic are not a collection of immigrants from across the border. Sixty percent of Chicago’s Hispanic population is second and third generation, educated in the U.S., bi-lingual (with English being the primary language spoken) and represent an extremely diverse set " http://local.townsquarepublications.com/illinois/chicago/07/topic.html

It's the other 40% that seem to be non English speaking and recipients of the Catholic Church's best intentions: Per the Chicago Archdiocese: https://pvm.archchicago.org/human-dignity-solidarity/immigration-ministry/about-us

Educate the undocumented community to safeguard their basic rights and family unity.

Advocate for Compassionate Comprehensive Immigration Reform (using the principles of the U.S. Catholic bishops) and for the humane treatment of immigrant detainees and deportees.

Loyal hispanic parishioners message support for their priest, saying in Spanish "we are all sinners" and praying for his return .https://www.face book.com/MisionSanJuanDiego

Many of the Catholic priests are recruited from Latin American countries , brought here to make the immigrants feel "at home" Casa Jesus ,now shuttered, was one such effort: at least 8 foreign gay priests were known to have attended with two arrested for lewd behavior, two for child porn. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/chicago-priest-arrested-in-miami-has-ties-to-shuttered-program-69513
