Elena Segura founded Pastoral Migratoria in 2008 as an immigrant-led ministry for service, accompaniment, and justice in parish communities. Pastoral Migratoria is based in the see-judge-act methodology of Aparecida that was espoused by Pope Francis. Vatican 2022 guidelines identified Pastoral Migratoria as a good practice for Intercultural Migrant Ministry.  National Pastoral Migratoria, which Elena leads, currently engages over 400 Hispanic lay leaders in dozens of immigrant parishes across the dioceses of New York, Baltimore, Stockton, Kansas City-Saint Joseph, and Chicago on civic and pastoral issues facing their own communities. More than 40 dioceses have sent pastoral teams to NPM’s annual Institute at Catholic Theological Union or participated in the RED (network)-NPM to receive training, resources and collaborate on best practices responding to the needs of immigrants. Since the 2005 inception of the USCCB Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform, from which Pastoral Migratoria was born, Elena directed the archdiocese’s Immigration Ministry, facilitating formation of pioneering networks of 200 priests, 54 religious orders, and immigration liaisons in 127 native-born parish congregations. Elena began her career organizing grassroots responses to problems facing her community in rural Peru.
