A group of Jesuits in Mexico, some from the U.S., have started a variation of the European worker-priest movement to bring Christianity into slum areas and factories. They do not work alongside the Mexicans, but visit plants and poor areas to celebrate Mass, hear confessions and give pastoral advice. In this photo, a Mexican priest, Father Cesar A. Gonzalez, says an open-air Mass for the poor. The Jesuits serve at the El Centra Laboral Mexico, or the Mexico Work Center. Religion News Service file photo

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
