BONUS EPISODE: Updates from Louie and Brian on Holy Week and clearing the plaza in Reynosa, Mexico

The Jesuit Border Podcast

In this bonus episode, Louie and Brian offer updates on their ministry and the migrant reality in Reynosa, Mexico. They reflect on the experience of celebrating Holy Week with migrants in the plaza, as the incense masked the smell of nearby port-o-potties and the sprinkling of holy water helped cool the oppressive heat. They also talk about how the plaza was cleared out in the middle of the night. Most of the migrants were relocated to local shelters, which have become the new focus of their ministry in Reynosa. There has also been an increase in Haitians on the border, so tune in to hear Brian’s best attempt at getting the names right for three teenage girls he has befriended at Casa del Migrante.
