CWN Editor's Note: At an October 9 meeting with representatives of Catholic Charities USA, Pope Leo XIV characterized them as “agents of hope for the millions of people who approach the Church in the United States of American seeking compassion and care.”
The Pope stressed the importance of the work done by Catholic Charities, particularly in welcoming immigrants. He said:
