Migrant Ministry Donations 2023
The St. Catherine’s Migrant Ministry program was established in 1999. Typically in July and August, volunteers gather once a week in the evening to visit one of the 300 migrant camps in the Diocese of Kalamazoo to bring hope to farmworker families, to provide household necessities, and to entertain the children, allowing the parents a short break after their long day in the fields. Volunteers play games and sports and do arts and crafts with the kids and provide a light snack before saying our good-byes.
