Colombia: “Jesus himself has gone out into the streets to meet the people”

In brief

Priests, religious sisters, and pastoral workers are supporting communities in Colombia one month after an earthquake struck the country on August 10.

In areas including Cali and various municipalities within the Valle del Cauca department, Church workers are providing comfort and aid to those facing the material and emotional consequences of the destruction. According to Aid to the Church in Need, these pastoral agents are working directly in the streets to assist the affected populations.
