Loyola University Chicago is sponsoring a major conference titled Chicago Catholic Immigrants Conference: The Mexicans. The conference will be held on Friday, November 7th and Saturday, November 8th at the University's Lakeshore Campus in Rogers Park. The national conference will highlight the numerous waves of Mexican Catholic immigrants who have settled throughout Chicagoland during the last century. During these past one hundred years of Mexican and Mexican-American presence many institutions of the Catholic Church have helped this diverse transnational ethnic community assimilate and intermix into the larger multicultural Chicago urban landscape. This conference is the second of a series of conferences on Catholic ethnics in Chicago. UNAM-Chicago and The Mexican Consulate in Chicago are collaborating in this event.
