Church reaching out to migrant workers

Fr. Peter Ciallella and volunteers assembled 220 care packages for migrant workers, who have been hit hard by COVID-19 in southwestern Ontario.

After the death of a second migrant worker of COVID-19 and at least 240 positive tests on just five farms, Deacon Tony Hogervorst is praying for thousands of seasonal workers on 176 farms across southwestern Ontario.
