Claretian Missionaries USA celebrated its first-ever outdoor Mass at Fiesta del Sol, a four-day festival in Pilsen, Aug. 3. The Mass was dedicated to immigrants and DREAMers. DREAMers is a name given to someone who meets the general requirements of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act. These young people assisted in all parts of the Mass and their stories were printed on posters placed near the main stage and altar.
