It's a touching story of how one local church provides a sanctuary for Myanmar refugees.

The group of people don't have much by American standards, but as the refugees show, it's the little things that really matter.

It started out with just three refugees attending the church. The word spread and today they had the biggest group yet--78. And one lady at Holy Spirit Catholic Church gives them a ride. Karen Lee, a parishioner there, makes multiple trips back and forth across Bowling Green transporting the refugees to and from church each Sunday.

"Kids run out and they're waving. It's just really beautiful to see. Just when I pull up," said Lee.

But communicating with the group is hard. A few speak broken english, and that's how Father Jerry Riney found out what they wanted most. "We have discovered that some of them were Catholic back in Myranmar, and so when they were asked what they needed, they wanted to come to church, they wanted to come to mass," said Riney.

Lee says it's hard not being able to talk to them, but kindness is a universal language.

"I find I don't have to say a lot because each one of them as they come onto the bus they say hello, and thank you, and as they get off they say thank you and goodbye." "There's a lot that they can teach us," adds Riney, "because we take so much for granted, and they have so little."

When Lee's mother unexpectedly died of cancer this summer, she says she felt lost. But now her outlook has changed. "It was hard for me to come back to church, especially when we did the sign of peace, because my mother and I always hugged, and then I found out I didn't have anyone to hug with, and now I do," said Lee.

Lee says the church has taken truck-loads of clothing, linens, and pots and pans to the refugees.

If you'd like to donate, Father Riney says the immigration office would be the place to call.
