SALESIAN SISTER MISSION APPEAL AUGUST 24/25

2nd Collection Aug. 24th & 25th As part of the Diocesan Mission Coop. Plan, a Salesian Sister of St. John Bosco will speak at OLM on Aug. 24th & 25th, on behalf of their foreign mission ministries. They will be asking for your help in support of their works throughout the world. The Salesian Sisters are a worldwide community counting 12,545 sisters spreading the Gospel on every continent. Approx. 3,000 sisters work in mission areas affected by great poverty, disease, political unrest, violence, war and other difficult conditions such as areas of natural disaster and refugee camps. They are in 17 African countries, the poorest because of war and violence for example South Sudan. They are also in the Middle East, particularly in zones where war is destroying people and environment. In Syria they have a hospital too small for present needs but they are dedicating themselves day and night to children, young people, families who have lost their homes, the dying and the wounded. The Sisters are grateful for the opportunity of sharing their mission work in our parish and of benefiting from your generosity.
