Thank you, from Father GeorgeFr. George Asigre from St Francis Xavier, our Sister Parish in Ghana, visited us August 30 – September 5, 2024 to share an update on their computer lab, library, and building of outstation churches. We are happy to share that we collected a total of $21,761.96 for our sister parish in Ghana. Here is a letter that Father George sent to us after this visit:
You may recall last November 2023, Fr. George Asigre also visited us. He shared one of his parish’s top priorities with us: a computer lab for the main parish school and a library for the 35 schools and 2,200 students in the parish. Generous St. Joseph members responded with over 3,500 used children’s books, 100 Bibles, and $12,000 to help make the project a reality! A special thanks to St. Joseph School and the Family of Faith Ministry for their help in the book collection. Computer Lab The completed computer lab was dedicated and blessed in a ceremony on June 21. Teachers are starting to use the computers to instruct students. School Library Construction of a new library building to house the used books from St. Joseph has begun! Here you see the foundation of cement blocks and the gravel to compact for the floor. More funds are needed to complete the library. Outstation Churches Little by little, completion of churches at outstation locations is progressing as funds are available. Thank you again to everyone who generously donated used books or funds last year. Your continued support will change the lives of the children in the parish! (FYI we will be updating this website with additional videos at a later date.) Thank you, from Father George |
