Volunteer Babysitters Needed

Ten years ago, the US and Mexican bishops produced a joint pastoral letter reminding “us of our responsibility as Catholics to help newcomers integrate in ways that are respectful, culturally sensitive and responsive to social needs” (www.justiceforimmigrants.org). OLG took up this call and partnered with Holy Family this past winter to host a new program for immigrant, Spanish-speaking parents. The program was a great success and we now have a second set of families ready to begin the 4-week series on 4/27. As the parents process their immigrant journey and discover ways to pass on their faith, culture, and language in a new environment, their kids need quality babysitting. We have 27 kids in this group and are in real need of babysitters who can help out on these Saturday afternoons (4/27, 5/11, 5/18 and 6/1) from 3-6. Families are welcome to babysit together. It’s a great way to get to know people from different countries and to practice your Spanish! For more information contact Jennifer Ibach at 206-935-0358 x. 120 or [email protected].
