City of Residence: Chicago
Occupation: Pastor of The Faith Community of Saint Sabina Roman Catholic
Church
His Work: Father Pfleger is a fiery priest who is not afraid of
taking a passionate stance on issues that have ruffled collars at the
Archdiocese. He is a civil rights leader who has championed
for those who don’t have a voice like the poor. Father Pfleger
has fought powerful figures and corporations without concern for his
safety, which was evident when he got arrested for defacing the
tobacco and liquor billboards in his South Side neighborhood.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed
renegade disciple has used the power of the bully pulpit to tear down
social injustices like racism, stomp out the use of illegal guns, discourage
violent acts, and get rid of the drug infestations that
have plagued his community. Over the last few years, Chicago’s
South Side has seen an emergence of new storefronts and
better housing for the poor. Father Pfleger was instrumental in
transforming his area into one of the largest new single-family home
developments in Chicago.
