Fr. Raphael’s

Kenya Situation

An Update on Fr. Raphael

 At our Sunday, January 13th meeting, the Human Dignity Committee made the following decisions:

 

We will continue with our long-range plans for the support of the needs of Fr. Raphael’s native Ugandan village and his seminary in Kenya. This effort will be our Lenten project (as was last year’s Goat Purchase). Look for more information ahead on this subject.

 

However, to meet the immediate needs of the victims of Kenya’s present violent upheaval, we are encouraging donations NOW that can be used for purchasing food, medicine, and supplies sorely needed in the community served by Fr. Raphael and his seminarians.

 

If you wish to take part in this humanitarian effort, please see our vestibule Bulletin Board display. Envelopes are available for your donations which can be placed in our regular Sunday collection baskets.

 

Whether or not you wish to donate, please remember to pray daily for peace in our world.
