Collection for Migrant Families

Each summer, approximately 60 migrant families come to our area to work. These families, U.S. citizens from Florida and Texas, arrive with very little and are responsible for their own rent and food. To support them, the Blessed Sacrament Social Justice Committee is sponsoring a collection drive from April 12 through April 25.
