News and Announcements
Thank you to all for your generosity to the Diocese of Nzara in the Sudan. We have reached our goal of $670.00 for the sewing project!
This financial support will sponsor a parish in that diocese to buy a non-electric sewing machine and send three women to a ten-day training in late February to learn how to sew. Each woman will be given three bolts of cloth and thread. There is a great need for people who can create clothing and school uniforms and this will be a way for these women to get out of poverty.
