The Influence of a Border Immersion

The Roche Center course, Encuentro: Immigration and the Catholic Educator’s Response, impacted Maddie Jarrett's vocation as teacher and theologian and encouraged her to delve more deeply into the issue of immigration.  
Maddie's Encuentro Experience

The Roche Center is a beautiful example of what Jesus calls us to do, which is to live our faith and transform our lives as we get closer to loving others as Jesus loves us. This is the groundwork that allows us to become fully human to each other.
