The latest CSS Hastings News
“Christ is in the poor. Christ loves the poor. Christ desires for us to love the poor.” In this episode of Hope in the Good Life, we hear from seminarians of St. Gregory the Great Seminary who volunteer with Catholic Social Services Community Street Outreach. Together with Alexis Broulliette who leads this program, they share powerful stories of encounter, transformation, and what it truly means to bring the Heart of Christ to the streets of Lincoln. This year, these men will be honored with the Heart of Christ Award at the Celebration of Hope Gala & Silent Auction — a celebration of hope lived out in action.

By Caroline Nebel,

I started working as a case manager in the Refugee Resettlement Program at CSS in 2023. Before long I was immersed in the work, finding it fulfilling and exciting. Throughout my day I might be shopping for house supplies, taking the city bus with a client, or teaching a family how to budget.
During my time in the Refugee Resettlement Program, we had an extraordinary team that became very close-knit. There were about 10 of us, some born in America and some immigrants from places like Ukraine, Syria and Burma. Within our team 13 different languages were spoken, so we often could get by without hiring outside translators. We each had our own case assignments, but everyone would help each other—perhaps translating at short notice, or driving a second vehicle to an airport pickup. We solved countless difficult situations as a team, sharing together in both joys and trials.
