Sister Kate Reid, ASC
Sister Kate Reid’s work with the Adorers’ Sanctuary Committee in the 1980s led her to explore how she might continue ministering as an advocate for immigrants. From 1997 to 2000 and from 2007 to 2018, Kate was accredited by the Executive Office for Immigration Review to represent immigrants and refugees who could not afford to pay for legal representation.

She currently volunteers with Catholic Immigration Law Project, a division of Catholic Legal Assistance Ministry sponsored by the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
