"We call upon all citizens of good will and people of faith to join us providing this life-giving aid and

hospitality to migrants in need in the desert. We believe that respect for human rights, the right to render humanitarian aid under U.S. immigration law and our ethical responsibility to save human lives demand this of us all."

(from June 27 2002 letter sent to David Aguilar, U.S. Border Patrol Chief)

In loving memory of

Samaritan Sr. Renilde Cade

She passed away Nov. 13th 2008

One of her ministries in heaven will be the watchful loving care of those crossing the desert. She will be deeply missed here on earth.

Please celebrate Renilde as you journey the desert.
