“El Sembrador” is a capacity-building formation program designed to equip parish communities to accompany migrant farmworkers. This program is vital because migrant farmworkers, often separated from their families and living in unfamiliar surroundings, turn to the Catholic Church for a sense of welcome, support, and belonging.
What makes El Sembrador unique is its holistic approach, offering faith formation grounded in the Catholic Social Teaching. This approach fosters mutual transformation, both for the farmworkers and the parish communities that embrace them.

Yakima, WA
The hospitality and carefully planned itinerary for this CMFN visitor is consistent with the welcome, respect, and critical care involved in the Yakima diocesan migrant pastoral ministry. Based upon the agricultural workers’ presence as an historical strength while being an invisible presence, the ministerial action begins with personal contact and listening to their stories.

Stockton, CA
Outstanding in the Stockton Diocese visit were the communal outdoor liturgies in the French and Roberts Island camps. The experience of being together with the farmworkers and their families, the accompanying parish volunteers and the diocesan representatives was truly a joyful and prayerful communion. These were the fruits of over twenty years.
