Our first refugee family has been in the United States for almost 8 years now! Since their first day here, they have been accompanied by ICSJ parishioners as they settled into their new life in Chicago. After huge milestones and celebrations, like becoming American Citizens, the family has a new and wonderful accomplishment they would like to share with our parish community.
Idrees, 17 years old, just received a well-earned, 4-year, renewable, Trustee Scholarship to Loyola University Chicago as a part of the Class of 2029!! Beginning in August of 2025, he will study in the Environmental Engineering program. Idrees and his parents have worked hard to make this happen and we could not be more proud! Thank you to all who have continued to support this ministry and celebrate alongside us throughout the years! Go Ramblers!
