At the end of this month, the Conventual Franciscan friars’ St. Hyacinth Friary on Cyman Drive in Chicopee, Massachusetts will host Heather Metcalfe from Franciscans International (FI). Heather will speak about human trafficking with a focus on how women and girls are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims of this horrible crime.
