36 Del Mar Camp, north of San Diego
Indigenous Mixtec farm workers from the Mexican state of Oaxaca live in makeshift shelters in a camp on a hillside in Del Mar, just north of San Diego. Every Sunday a priest celebrates mass for the workers in the ravine below the hill where they live, often together with other parish members from town and students from local colleges. Generoso Vasquez, a Mixtec migrant, offers sacramental wine to a woman taking communion at the end of the mass.
