LET'S BUILD A HOME
Hello ladies,
Many of you met Melissa from Cross Catholic at the Duluth and New Ulm convention last spring and then again at our NCCW Convention in Salt Lake City. Immediately following the convention, she asked to meet with me about their project to build a home in Guatemala. This project costs $11,000.
Some of you may recall ten years ago when the New Ulm diocese hosted the Province Conference and we presented Immaculee Ilibagiza with a check for $53,000 to build a dormitory for teachers in Kibeho. That was exciting! I was amazed with the generosity of our people.
I really believe, even though this is just months away, that our Province is capable of presenting Melissa a generous donation towards this at our Province Conference in June! With your diocesan and parish events just around the corner, now would be a good time to ask your parishes to contribute to this. Perhaps the Mass collection could be for this cause? Invite the women to make an individual contribution too.
Attached you will find the form with the information about the project and where to send the gift. Please see what you can do and let’s build a home for Cross Catholic!
