Migrant farm workers often ‘invisible’ in communities

Continued from p. 1 Since taking up his post at St. Alban’s, Arias and his wife, Ruth Hurtado, have, with the help of a grant from the diocese of Niagara, been trying to turn the church into a kind of community hub for temporary farm workers. “Our first goal is to give spiritual support,” he said. They also try to address health care, commu- nication and transportation needs.
