Electrical Generator Campaign
We wish to thank, once more, those
who have supported this effort,
whether through the “Spare a Dime”
Campaign or through last December’s
Latin Festival. However, we are still
some $3,500 short in our efforts to
purchase and ship an electrical
generator for the “El Peregrino” Occupational Center. A
container will be going to Nicaragua in mid-August from
Miami and it would be great if the generator could go in
that shipment. To cover the shortfall, we are initiating a
“GENERATE” Campaign. Donation envelopes for this
specific purpose are included with this bulletin and will be
available in the narthex in the coming weeks. Please
make checks payable to “St. Catherine of Siena –
Nicaragua Fund,” put the check or cash in an envelope
and drop it in the regular Sunday collection. Thank you,
and may God bless your generosity!
Mission To Visit The Sister Parish
A group of St. Catherine parishioners will be traveling to
Nicaragua, at their expense, over a five-day period in
October to visit our Sister Parish. It is our goal to visit
and worship with members of our sister parish, to see
first hand the projects, which we have supported, and to
assess need, both spiritual and material. Prior visits by
St. Catherine parishioners have been edifying and
humbling, given the abundance of faith and gratitude
among the poorest of the poor. Those participating in this
mission will report back to the parish upon their return.
We will be sharing our plans in this regard as the trip date
approaches.
