An Abundance of Gratitude
We are grateful for every one of our friends and benefactors. Here are comments from a few of them:
“I am proud to be part of such a beautiful cause.”
“I know you do a lot for God’s poor and less fortunate but never realized how much.”
“I commend you for all the good work you do in taking care of forgotten people.”
“We are deeply moved by your good stewardship abilities. Knowing that it flows from your deep prayer life and trusting in the Lord, it is a pleasure to put you on my giving ministry.”
The people who receive assistance are also grateful. Here is one example:
“I was there very recently to ask for help paying an electric turn-off. I’m writing to let you know how thankful and how blessed I felt at your Center. Thank you for all of your help in trying to get me back on my feet. God’s angels have been working overtime to help me!”
Message from our Founder
“Our work with the poor is the love of our lives and to keep it totally dependent on God’s Will, we live on Divine Providence. In other words we do the work, and God does the providing. We depend on Him to put it into the minds and hearts of our benefactors to provide for our work. In this way God gives to those who are not called to direct service to the poor a way of serving them through others.”
– Sr. Mary Elizabeth Gintling
