Casa Alexia –
A border ministry/Un ministerio en la frontera


Casa Alexia Newsletter

Casa Alexia in El Paso, Texas, is a joint ministry of the U.S. and Latin American Provinces of the School Sisters of St. Francis. The purpose of the mission is to stand in solidarity with immigrants, including women who are survivors of human trafficking, and to advocate for just immigration policies while working collaboratively with others. Casa Alexia welcomes School Sisters, Woman with her two children in El Paso coloniasassociates, Tau Volunteers, and others to participate in an immersion experience to learn about the conditions of immigrants at the border. 

As School Sisters of St. Francis “our mission is to witness to the Good News of Jesus and the presence of the reign of God as we enter into the lives and needs of people, especially people who are poor.” (SSSF Response in Faith)
