BONUS EPISODE: Goodbyes- Louie’s last episode on the podcast

The Jesuit Border Podcast

It’s with heavy hearts but trust in God’s plan that we want to share the news that Fr. Louie has been missioned to a new apostolate, Arrupe Jesuit High School in Denver, CO.

In this bonus episode, Louie and Brian reflect on saying goodbyes, something that is a regular part of life on the border working with migrants. They share the story of a Honduran family of five that spent several months in Casa del Migrante in Reynosa. During that time, their three children were baptized in a beautiful service at the shelter. After three months of trying, they finally got an appointment through the CBP One app to present at the bridge, and Louie and Brian were there to welcome them to the U.S. with (what else??) a trip to McDonald’s!

Louie and Brian also reflect on the news of Louie’s new mission and the sadness of saying goodbye to our ministry and friends here in the Rio Grande Valley.
