Nancy Golen, CRC Director (seated l.) and Sr. Cathy Fedewa, CSFN (seated 2nd r.) join the Cabrini Retreat Center Staff in reaching out to immigrants in Chicagoland
Spiritual Retreats are central to many immigrant faith traditions and Cabrini Retreat Center is privileged to welcome many immigrant groups. But, even with subsidized fees, the demands of daily life as an immigrant prevent many others from a traditional retreat experience.
Introducing Sr. Cathy Fedewa, CSFN
The desire to respond more widely to the needs of the immigrant community, led to Sr. Catherine Fedewa, CSFN, joining the staff at the Retreat Center as Coordinator of Immigrant Outreach and Advocacy.
Sr. Cathy takes the spirit of Cabrini beyond the door and into the community and brings back valuable insights.
A Sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth, Sr. Cathy comes to Cabrini with a wealth of experience. She serves on the Board of Bethany House of Hospitality for Women, is a member of Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants, and Interfaith Community for Detained Immigrants.
