In El Paso, Texas, compassion continues to shine even when the world slows down. Brother Daniele, an Assumptionist brother serving at the border, shared how the current government restrictions have reduced the number of migrants crossing into the U.S. With fewer people arriving, the shelters that once welcomed thousands each month have grown quieter. But as he explains, the mission never stops — it simply takes new forms. With the help of the sisters from the Servants of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic community founded by Father Yermo, Brother Daniele has found new purpose in serving the local homeless population. From their convent in El Paso, they open their doors several times a week, cooking and serving warm meals to those who come hungry and tired from the streets. For many, it’s the only hot meal they’ll have all day — but it comes with something deeper: dignity, kindness, and a reminder that they are not forgotten.
Standing beside the sisters, Brother Daniele describes how this act of feeding the hungry has become a new form of grace. Even though their work with migrants has slowed, he sees this mission as an opportunity to extend love to all who suffer. “There are a thousand ways to find and help people here in El Paso,” he says, his voice filled with quiet conviction. In each plate of food and each moment of conversation, he sees a reflection of faith put into action. While the sisters also run the Father Yermo School — named after their founder — their daily focus here is clear: to care for the most vulnerable. Every bowl of soup, every shared smile, and every gesture of service echoes the compassion that Father Yermo envisioned more than a century ago. This is faith lived out, not through words, but through humble acts of love. As Brother Daniele reminds us, compassion doesn’t pause when times are uncertain — it simply finds another way. You can help us so that we can help them.
Every contribution, prayer, or act of kindness helps keep this mission alive. If you feel called to support, come forward. Together, we can make sure no one in El Paso goes hungry. Because love, when shared, multiplies.”
