On this West Virginia Morning, we meet a young woman whose mother is undocumented even though she’s married to a U.S. citizen. We’ll hear from Appalachian advocates who want Congress to reverse cuts impacting flood prevention and mine restoration funds.
And a West Virginia man is now a seminarian, studying in Vatican City to become a Roman Catholic priest. He shares his thoughts on the passing of Pope Francis and his desire to minister a Mountain State parish.
