News & Updates
Thank you! ¡Gracias! Mèsi!

The OSP-IHM Core Community at the US-Mexico border would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sisters and associates who attended the presentation on February 13 via zoom or livestream. It was wonderful to see so many faces and feel the energy of our four congregations. If you were unable to join us that evening, we invite you to view the recorded presentation that depicts a little bit of the reality of our migrant brothers and sisters as well as our own experiences of community life, ministry and intercongregational collaboration at the border.
How to donate
Since the presentation, many have asked how they might donate to our OSP-IHM collaborative ministry. Monetary donations will help us to buy food, clothing, medicine, toiletries and activity materials for migrants at the Casa del Migrante or Senda de Vida II in Reynosa, Mexico, and at the Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas.
Monetary donations
- Checks can be made payable to: Sisters of IHM.
- They can be mailed to: Sister Rose Patrice Kuhn, IHM
Mary, Comfort of Migrants, 905 N. 50th St., McAllen, TX 78501
Supply donations
Schools and youth groups may prefer to collect school supplies or other articles rather than money. Donated articles might include: travel size toiletries, shoelaces, underwear, socks, t-shirts, gloves, hats and scarves. Clothing should be new. We will probably be putting together more backpacks for school-aged children and will need: #2 pencils, large erasers, glue sticks, colored pencils and crayons. No scissors or rulers please! Boxes with donated goods can be mailed to the address above.
