Tijuana, Mexico, Nov 28, 2018 / 15:01 pm
Archbishop Francisco Moreno Barrón of Tijuana encouraged the faithful Sunday to share "from our poverty" with the Central American migrants arriving in the city.
In his Nov. 25 homily, Archbishop Moreno encouraged sharing "not out of what we have left over but from our poverty. Let us continue to show that solidarity of our peoples."
Thousands of Central American migrants have reached Tijuana in their attempt to cross the border to the United States. The first migrant caravan, which left Honduras Oct. 13, numbers more than 5,600 people.
Archbishop Moreno said the large number of migrants "took us by surprise" since "we don't have the conditions to receive them as we have done on other occasions."
