Vino Pajanor on How Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego Serves Migrants
Wednesday, 21 August, 2024
This episode of CMSOnAir is a conversation on the ways in which Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego (CCDSD) is assisting migrants through vital welfare and legal services, recent threats and allegations against CCDSD staff for assisting migrants, and US border policies. Mario Russell, Executive Director of the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS), and Vino Pajanor, Chief Executive Officer of CCDSD, sit down to address these topics. Born and raised in India, Vino grew up in a Catholic family and followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps by becoming a lawyer. A graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law, he began his career in a law firm, where he worked for 6 years. In 2006, he discovered his passion for nonprofit work and went on to co-found the Housing Opportunities Collaborative in San Diego to address the growing predatory lending practices and evolving housing crisis. Vino joined CCDSD in 2018, and has since run the agency "with a non-profit heart and a for-profit mind," ensuring that the agency lives out its calling through triple bottom line framework, SMAART goals, and organizational means.
