Abstract
This chapter summarizes key findings from the 2016–2017 Trinity Washington University/CARA study of international sisters and the 2009-2012 Oblate School of Theology/CARA study of international priests living and ministering in the United States. The findings compare international sisters and priests according to their country of origin, age, age at time of immigration to the United States, and year of immigration. The chapter also explores their pathways to the United States, their purpose in coming to the United States, their level of education, their proficiency in English, and their current ministries. It concludes with a brief argument that Catholic sisters and priests who minister in a nation not theirs by birth serve a crucial function in the Church today, and that their presence in the wider immigrant population in the United States draws attention to the compelling issue of immigration reform.
