Migrant Ministries

We see migrants being reached by more parishes and Catholic organizations and institutions with creative, pastorally sensitive and culturally relevant programs and resources.

Contact Us

Each year there are approximately 20,000 Hispanic/Latino migrant farmworkers that arrive in our Diocese to work from March-November or shorter periods of time from June-August. These migrants speak Spanish and typically come from Texas, Florida, Mexico and Central America. They work ~300 camps in the nine county area in the apple orchards, strawberries, cucumbers, and blueberry fields.

To serve the migrant population, we provide the following programs:

  • Visits to the camps
  • Mass at the camps and invitation to participate in nearby parishes
  • Diocesan Fiesta
  • Confirmations for Migrant youth at St. Augustine Cathedral, Kalamazoo
