Ande and Michael McCarthy will speak about the two weeks they volunteered in El Paso, Texas during the migrant crisis, in March and April 2019. They volunteered at a religious hospitality center for refugees who have been pouring over the border from Central America by the thousands every day. They will speak at 6 p.m., Sunday, May 5 at Holy Trinity Parish Center, 2568 Henry St., Port Huron, Township. The parish center is a single-story school building, not the church. This is a free event which is open to the public. No reservations are necessary. Light refreshments will be served. Mike McCarthy, a retired physician’s assistant, is the leader of Blue Water Pax Christi, the local unit of an international peace organization. He was a candidate for U.S. Congress in the 10th District in 2018. Ande McCarthy is a registered nurse who is with Visiting Nurse Association of Port Huron. She led a Port Huron campaign to discourage gun ownership in 2017-18. Both have volunteered their time serving the medical needs of impoverished residents of Mexico and Cuba in recent years.
