Every Wednesday night during harvest season, 16 Masses are celebrated in migrant farmworker camps across the Yakima Valley in Central Washington. This “Mass in Camps” initiative, supported by Catholic Extension Society, offers not only the Eucharist to seasonal migrant farmworkers, but also fellowship, food and music. In this episode, Bishop Joseph Tyson of Yakima discusses how reaching out to the margins benefits the Church as a whole. In fact, all seminarians in the diocese spend summers working alongside the laborers in the fields to understand those they will one day serve as priests. Father Jesús Mariscal recounts how earning "calluses before chalices” influenced his pastoral perspective when he was a seminarian. Experience faith blooming and the Church growing amid Yakima’s bountiful harvest.
