Father Alex Gaitan has worked to curtail gang activity within Chicago’s immigrant community; brought to the forefront the mental health crisis among immigrants in Atlanta, Ga.; aided in citizenship classes and passport processing for immigrants at the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in San Gabriel, Cali.; and helped hundreds of Mexican farmers experiencing food insecurity during the pandemic in Fresno, Cali.
In 2022, Father Gaitan, a Claretian devoted to justice and peace, was called to the Archdiocese of Newark’s St. Joseph’s Church in Jersey City, where he has been part of a United Nations Ministry. Recently, Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R, Archbishop of Newark, appointed Father Gaitan to head the archdiocese’s newest ministry to support immigrants through local church communities.
