Backpack collection

La Casa de Misericordia is the diocesan-sponsored migrant shelter in Nogales, Mexico. This past week, Saint Philip’s Rector, Fr Robert, and affiliate clergy, Fr Henry Hoffman, visited the shelter to deliver the backpacks generously donated by Saint Philip’s parishioners.

Sister (Ange)Lica, manages the shelter and was grateful to receive the backpacks. She told Fr Robert and Fr Henry that the shelter residents will use them as luggage when they cross into America.

A spirited thank you to everyone who participated in the backpack drive!
