In this clip from "In Good Faith," Sr. Maxine Kollasch talks with Holy Cross Sr. Sharlet Wagner, an immigration lawyer and executive director of the Newcomer Network, part of Catholic Charities in Washington, D.C. The Newcomer Network provides immigration legal services, but clients are often in precarious situations with many other needs. Sister Sharlet explains how the "navigator" program helps them connect with multiple services — both inside and outside Catholic Charities — as clients settle into their new life.

Pope Francis greets immigrants at the port in Lampedusa, Italy, during his first papal trip outside Rome, on July 8, 2013. During that visit, Francis urged people not to be part of the "globalization of indifference" to the world's immigrants and refugees. Francis' call for mercy toward all summarizes his vision of the church, writes Diego Mauro. (CNS/CPP/L'Osservatore Romano)

After illness, can Pope Francis consolidate his vision of church?
