There has been a steady decline in attendance at a church in Wayne County. It turns out some parishioners are fearful they could be arrested on their way to Mass.
Church of the Epiphany in Sodus offers a 2:00 p.m. Mass in Spanish each Sunday that is heavily attended by migrant workers. It's where they gather for spiritual and social fellowship with others from their native countries.
A recent crackdown by the United States Border Patrol is now keeping many Latinos away from Sunday Mass.
"About six weeks ago a Latino was riding his bike down the street here and was detained by the border patrol on his way to Mass,â€"Distrust and caution are the parents of security."
