Eucharistic Procession to Broadview Detention Center

DATE: Saturday, October 11, 2025

TIME: 10 AM

MEETING PLACE: St. Eulalia Catholic Church, 1825 S 9th Ave, Maywood, IL 60153

PROCESSION: Approximately one-mile walk to Broadview Detention Center, 1930 Beach St, Broadview, IL 60155

On Saturday, October 11, CSPL will gather at St. Eulalia Catholic Church—the birthplace of CSPL—and then process the one-mile walk to the Broadview Detention Center.

While detention by ICE had been discontinued as Illinois ended agreements for state facilities to be used to house people detained during immigration proceedings, the Broadview Center is now being used to detain people arrested as part of ICE and DHS operations across our region. Increasing reports tell of inhumane conditions in the overcrowded facility, and clergy, along with our elected officials, lawyers, and other immigrant advocates are being denied access to the people held within—and deported from—the facility.

Accompanied by priests, CSPL will make a Eucharistic Procession to the Detention Center, where a delegation will attempt to gain access to the facility in order to give Communion and minister to the people being detained against their rights and in disregard for their dignity. Please join us on this faithful, peaceful, and courageous pilgrimage to bring what solidarity and comfort we can to our community members facing such trauma at the hands of the systemic sin of detention and deportation.
