Description
Ron Byler visited Katherine Smith at Casa Alitas in Tucson, Arizona a ministry of Catholic Community Services. Smith, an MCCer, serves as volunteer coordinator. Casa Alitas provides temporary housing for asylum seekers.
Ron Byler, executive director of MCC U.S., began a two-week pilgrimage along the 1700 mile stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border from San Diego, California, to Brownsville, Texas on January 26, 2020.
The border pilgrimage was to allow Byler to learn from and support MCCs partners and others responding to the humanitarian crisis on the border and to equip him to think about what MCCs ministry might be in this region in the future.
