Pope Benedict named Chicago Auxiliary Bishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller to be the new archbishop of the Archdiocese of San Antonio on Oct. 14. This slide show is a brief look back at the bishop's seven-year tenure here in Chicago.
Bishop Garcia-Siller shares his personal experience about racial profiling as Catholic priests, religious sisters and brothers, along with representatives from Christian, Muslim and Jewish religions for a press conference on May 12, 2010, at Holy Name Cathedral. The group met to oppose the enactment and implementation of Arizona SB 1070, which criminalizes undocumented immigrants, and to call on the Federal Government to freeze non-felony deportations and move swiftly toward passing compassionate, comprehensive immigration legislation.
