When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan this past August, St. Peter’s parishioner Martin Costa knew he needed to offer his help to any of the refugees that were to be resettled on the South Coast.
When a young family of six arrived in South Dartmouth in December, he and fellow church volunteers quickly got started gathering necessities to ensure they felt welcome in their new home.
“They’re our neighbors,” Costa said. “And this is what our work in the church is all about: helping your neighbor.”
