Pastor Vigil says the streets are more violent now - there's not a day without gunshots, even during church service on Sunday. But amidst all the chaos, his parish provides these women a place for peace, 24 hours a day.
"He pulled up right here," Vigil said as he pointed to the sidewalk outside the church. "He jumped out of the car in this direction, my youngest daughter was inviting people to our church and he tried to take her into the car."
Auntie Dee the church outreach coordinator says the parish staff will see the women and children dropped off and picking up in vans at various hours of the day. "We contact their families, we graciously use our personal funds and send them home," said Pastor Mike.
