Sisters and seafarers 9 c.jpg

Sr. Joanna Okereke, center, is a Sister of the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus and the national director of the Stella Maris ministry of the U.S. bishops' conference. She and chaplains and volunteers run errands for seafarers; they learn what the crews' needs are, buy the supplies and leave them at the dock for the seafarers to pick up after the volunteers leave.
