Casa Romero

Casa Romero

Our parish inherited a row house in December 2018. The donors formerly used the property to help house a family and gave it to us to continue to help people. Fr. Orlando Reyes OFM Cap. was pastor at the time and named the house the Casa Romero after St. Oscar Romero. Migrants were permitted to stay there as a temporary shelter — some for months, others for years.

Now the Casa Romero is a 3-month program run by a board of volunteers from our parish. The program is set up to help anyone who needs it, but mostly immigrants within their first year of entry, to give them a graced period of time to collect themselves, be aware of legal paperwork they need, and regain a daily routine. The program includes an obligatory rule structure and interaction with members of the board.

Please call the parish office if you would like to volunteer, donate, or enroll in the program. Space is limited.

Nuestra parroquia heredó una casa en diciembre de 2018. Los donantes usaban anteriormente la propiedad para ayudar a albergar a una familia y nos la dieron para que sigamos ayudando a la gente. El padre Orlando Reyes OFM Cap. era párroco en ese momento y nombró la casa Casa Romero en honor a San Óscar Romero, y permitió que los inmigrantes se quedaran allí como refugio temporal — algunos durante meses, otros durante años.

Ahora, Casa Romero es un programa de 3 meses dirigido por un equipo de voluntarios de nuestra parroquia. Está diseñado para ayudar a cualquier persona que lo necesite, pero principalmente a los inmigrantes dentro de su primer año de ingreso, para darles un período de gracia para recuperarse, estar al tanto de los trámites legales que necesitan y recuperar una rutina diaria.

Llame a la oficina parroquial si desea ser voluntario, donar o inscribirse en el programa. El espacio es limitado.
