Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia prepared welcome baskets for 12 refugee families Jan. 15, the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. Volunteers from St. Margaret Parish and School in Narberth, along with those from Villanova University and AmeriCorps VISTA, filled baskets with food, clothing and household items at St. Margaret’s while spending time with refugee families and learning about their experiences. The outreach is part of Catholic Social Services’ Refugee Resettlement Program, which helps those fleeing the world’s poorest and most dangerous countries, and shares their journey to a new life.
