Father Mike officiates a wedding in Presidio, Texas.

By Sasha von Oldershausen

Father Mike is a pastor at the Catholic church in Presidio, Texas. He moved to the United States in the late 1980s from his hometown in the Phillppines. He's since made West Texas his home. Living in the small border town has lent perspective to his own immigrant experience. This is his story.
