Kasa Joseph, 3, leans on his father during Mass at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Bowling Green, Ky. Kasa was born in a Tanzanian refugee camp where his father, Joseph Msendele, and family lived for nearly 20 years fleeing war in their home country. Msendele was a child himself when he and his family escaped to Tanzania from Congo. From the moment the family got to the camp, they were working through an international immigration organization to get into the United States. Msendele was approved first to come to the U.S., and was here for nearly eight months before his wife, parents, and several other relatives were able to follow. For the family, their Catholic faith has helped them transition into their new lives in America and they are very active in the Holy Spirit Catholic Church's international community. “America is more difficult because it is so different,” Msendele said.
