Greetings!
Below is an article that our Chair Mike Mercurio has submitted for the bulletin.

ST. MARY RETURNS TO STE. THERESE
The 2012 St. Mary Medical Mission will take place March 3 thru March 10.
Dr. Richard J. Garvey, a parishioner and a member of our Twinning Committee will once again be the Medical Director and he will also lead the surgical component of the mission. We wil have three MD's providing adult care, three pediatricians, and four other medical professionals who will operate our Pharmacy and provide Tetanus Immunizations.
Dr. Garvey met with Haitian Health Officials on February 7 and arranged for the immunizations to be made available to our team, A MOST RARE AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Additionally, we will have an Eye Glass Station where we hope to distribute 1,250 pairs of reading glasses. Ten of the fourteen team members are paying for their own airfare so that we will have additional monies to purchase various meds, vitamins, and supplies.
This is a most impressive undertaking of which St. Mary can be very proud of. People of love and faith helping people of love, faith, and hope.
