In 1999, St. Catherine’s Migrant Ministry program was established. Members of the parish gather in groups to visit the migrant camps in Southwest Michigan to provide farm worker families with support in both a spiritual way as well as providing necessities.
Volunteers provide activities for the children such as storytelling, arts and crafts, games and a light snack. This allows the parents a short break from their hectic and hard-working day.
It is not necessary to know Spanish but helpful. Typically, we carpool from St. Catherine’s parking lot at 5:30 pm and return around 10:00 pm.
