Interview with Fr. Mike
On November 9, Redemptorist Foundation Day, the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Mission Matters interviewed Denver Province Redemptorist Fr. Michael McAndrew, C.Ss.R.
Fr. Mike has been engaged in ministry to Hispanic communities for over 30 years and is an outspoken advocate for ministry to migrant communities. He also writes the web blog Padre Migrante, and is author of the book Migrant Faith. Fr. Mike travels throughout the United States and parts of Mexico to offer pastoral and spiritual care for migrant workers and their families.
Megan Mio, host of the Mission Matters podcast, characterized the interview as an opportunity to reflect both on the faith of the migrants and, as well, our own faith in the face of the migrant crisis. In addition to information about the Redemptorists, the wide-ranging discussion covered Fr. Mike’s many years of ministry to the Hispanic and migrant communities and information on the changing nature of immigration and the crisis at the US-Mexican border and what we as Catholics can do to help.
