On Wednesday Night we travelled to Delaware Park in Delaware to spend an evening with migrant workers from South America. These workers take care of all the horses used in the races for the track. They live in tight living quarters with very little compensation. What little money they do make they send home to their families.
Here are Andy and Liz telling us a little about Delaware Park:
We had a wonderful Mass celebrated by Fr. Chris Posch, a Franciscan Friar of Holy Name Province. Fr. Chris has been working with migrant workers for years now and excels at bringing both spanish and english speaking communities together. Our Mass was in Spanglish and everyone was able to take something away from the evening. To top it all off, Lupita, a woman from St. Paul's in Wilmington, DE made us a fantastic authentic Mexican Meal. After the meal, we all came together and had a dance party...see the video below for our fun times!
Our students learned a lot today about how we are all created equal in God's eyes and how, no matter what language we speak or where we work or where we come from, we all have value in God's eyes.
