It has been a long time since our last newsletter.  However, this doesn’t mean that you have been forgotten. Indeed, as always, in our Congregation’s custom, you and your family have been part of our daily prayers.

The Congregation is grateful for all the support that you, our benefactors have continued to show through monthly sponsorships and garage sales.

In 2009, the fundraising has enabled the completion of our new school in Ilo-ilo. This new venture has been a long time in coming and adds to the Congregation’s ministry to help families in our  care with the  education of their children.

 April of this year saw a special event for those benefactors and friends who were able to travel to Sydney. As a group, a pilgrimage was organized to visit the grave site of Blessed Mary Mac Killop who will become the first Australian Saint.

This short, but joyful, weekend, was a great opportunity for all to pray for those special intentions that occupy the hearts of the faithful. No doubt, Blessed Mary Mac Killop will not forget the love each of you have for the children of God who so need to be taken care of.

Our sisters are well aware of the pain and concern that families carry. We are  also aware of the faith in God each has as shown through prayer and acts of charity. I am sure that the continued support for our own missions will not go unrewarded from  God who knows of the sacrifices made.

A big

THANK YOU to all who helped Sr.Anna with the Mothers Day Stall.

 This day was a great day but only made possible by the many who came along and helped with the selling of items.
