HAITI UPDATE - EDUCATION
On behalf of Father Cronin and the "Twinning Committee" a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made a Haiti Education donation to the 2011 Giving Tree.
Total contributions amounted to a record $6,189 and the children of St. Mary School contributed an additional $553.02. During this month we will send to Father Bertrand, at Ste. Therese, a check in the amount of $7,727.02 which includes $985 collected throughout the year in response to Haiti Education bulletin appeals.
This financial assistance is intended solely to help educate the nearly 600 K thru 8 and high school students of Ste. Therese. It is absolutely remarkable how generous our parishioners have been over the past five years in supporting the various significant needs of our sister parish.
Please always remember; "Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk. It must be a thing of action and sincerity." (1 John 3:18)
