Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC)
Biography
CLINIC, a subsidiary agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), is a non-profit organization. Incorporated in 1988, its mission is to enhance and support the legal immigration work of the Catholic Church in the United States. CLINIC expands legal services available to immigrants by supporting a nationwide network of diocesan immigration programs that has grown from 17 to 152 programs with legal offices in over 250 sites. Each year, CLINIC’s member programs represent more than 100,000 low-income immigrants. To protect at-risk women, children and families, and to make the immigration system more fair and humane, CLINIC engages in advocacy and public education projects; operates a national naturalization program to promote immigrant citizenship; and provides selected direct services to individual immigrants, including foreign born Catholic priests, sisters, brothers, and seminarians, as well as needy immigrants and asylum-seekers held in immigration detention. CLINIC’s Board of Directors includes nine Catholic bishops and two women religious. CLINIC’s Catholic identity infuses every aspect of its service. Its programs are based upon Catholic social teaching, which for over 100 years has promoted the human dignity of immigrants.
