Dessert Jesuits

The Jesuits run a shelter that feeds and gives medical aid to migrants deported from the United States via Nogales, said the
Rev. Sean Carroll, executive director of the (video) Kino Border Initiative. Carroll and the Rev. Peter Neeley, both of the California Province, of Jesuits are assigned to the ministry,
which is supported by a coalition of religious orders, social service groups and Catholic dioceses. The shelter is staffed by four Jesuits, three (from Colima, Mexico) Missionary Sisters of the Eucharist and volunteers. The initiative is a bi-national effort to work with migrants, and to study the effects of migration and immigration along the U.S.-Mexico
