I used to know some nuns with the Little Sisters of Jesus(Bl.Charles de Foucauld’s order) who traveled with nomads, including desert tribes and primitive goat-herder types, and also including migrant laborers, motion picture production workers, and circus performers. The sisters’ role was just to be there and pray, to befriend, to be helpful when needed. I always thought it was admirable, as well as strongly appealing to the adventurous type!

Thanks for the interesting post. Perhaps more than ever, we need religious outreach to such groups. It is indeed admirable.
