Several hundred Catholics and people of faith gathered on Sept. 13 to celebrate a people’s Mass, or Misa popular, outside the gates of the Great Lakes Naval Station in the city of North Chicago. (The Mass was organized by the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, a Catholic and Christian-rooted community organizing alliance of which I am the executive director.) Several hundred gathered on Sept. 13 to show their support for the immigrant community outside the gates of the Great Lakes Naval Station in the city of North Chicago. The naval station was chosen as the site for the people’s Mass and procession because the Pentagon has approved it as a staging ground for local operations by the Department of Homeland Security and by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As part of the liturgical program for the people’s Mass, we chose to honor Mr. Villegas-Gonzalez’s life and to pray for his soul and for his family.
