The Middle East is facing an ongoing crisis, and members of a parish in Maple Ridge have found a way to respond.

Parishioners at St. Patrick's held a potluck dinner April 11 to bring two Catholic refugee families to Canada. Organizer Gloria Tam said over $8,000 was raised for the cause.

Parishioners are now waiting to find out more about the families they hope to sponsor.
