For the migrant camp visits, volunteers generally meet at St. Toms and then head over to the camp together and then on the way home stop for ice cream.  Clarissa Krajewski, young adult volunteer at Hackett for YDisciple and Agnus Dei, has agreed to go every week to be a person Hackett students can be comfortable asking questions to and to volunteer.  Please email Kathy Williams if you are interested in attending the camp visits.   They are a great and fun way to get volunteer hours.  It will be an experience you will never forget!
