They provide shelter and accommodation including food and other materials, and financial assistance to abandoned babies, motherless babies, and poor/abandoned elderly. The Sisters go about caring for the sick and infirm as Jesus did in towns and villages, they offer free and cheap health care services for the less privileged who cannot afford to go to hospitals. They provide education for the less privileged children in ele-mentary and high schools. They also assist young women in vocational school. In addition, the Sisters work to bring the gospel of Christ to all especially in remote areas by involving in pastoral work in different parishes in more than 12 dioceses in Nigeria. This includes teaching Catechism to Catechumens, and helping to pre-pare catechists; they also serve as director of Religious education in parishes and at the Dioc-esan level. They are also involved in organizing basic Christian communities among parishion-ers to strengthen their faith. The Sisters of St. Michael the Archangel carry out the works of Mercy in the Southern, Western and Northern parts of Nigeria to feed the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, to shel-ter the homeless, to visit and care for the sick, to visit the imprisoned, to give hope to the hopeless, to help and comfort those who suffer. These works cannot be done without your prayers and your help; you are Jesus’ hands and feet through the Sisters of St. Michael the Archangel.

GRUPO DE ORACION JESUS VIDA ETERNA Te invitan a la Asamblea de Oracion y Alabanza. Cada Viernes de 7pm - 9pm en el Salón Parroquial. Cristo Jesús te espera!!

Querida Familia Parroquial,

Hace casi 40 años los miembros del co-mité de construcción para la fundación de St. James estaban revisando los planes para la “Iglesia nueva". Los pla-nes originales requerían la construcción de un campanario. Cuando llegó el mo-mento de la construcción, no quedaban fondos para la torre, de modo que la idea fue desechada.

Hemos decidido resucitar el proyecto, que proporcionaría un nuevo campanario para St. James. Actualmente, contamos con $15,000 dólares en donaciones para el proyecto. Necesitamos aproximada-mente $27,257 para completar la cons-trucción e instalación de la torre. Aque-llos que donen $100 o más tendrán su apellido escrito sobre una placa para que sean recordados en memoria perpetua.

Si Usted desea donar al proyecto, por fa-vor hable con el Diácono Ray o conmigo antes o después de la misa. O si desea, no dude en ponerse en contacto con uno de nosotros durante las horas de oficina.

Que Dios los bendiga por su considera-ción y generosidad a este esfuerzo tan valioso.

Padre Charlie
