The missions season is about to begin. It's time to start thinking about the mission you want to be part of. We have two information meeting just after the 4th of July.
First on July 11th we are having our information/planning meeting for the new Uganda mission. Fr. Alfred from Uganda will be here to talk about the needs of the people and the hospital environment. This is an exciting new opportunity to work with the poorest of the poor. The people in Ibanda, Uganda are wonderfully friendly people. They live simply and have a slower pace of life. The hospital staff is looking forward to welcoming the mission team and eager to learn from us. Since this is the first mission to Uganda we will just do medical and surgical work. In future missions we hope to add construction and outreach opportunities. Come join us on July 11th at 7:00pm.
On July 13th we have the Philippines missions Information meeting. If missions are new to you and you're looking for a good first time mission to join this is for you. We have a well establish team and have been going to Borongan for quite awhile. This mission has needs for medical (surgeons, anesthesia, clinical doctors, and nurses), construction, and outreach. Come on July 13th and hear the stories from those who have been there.
Both meetings are here at the Blanchette Catholic Center, 16555 Weber Rd, Crest Hill, IL 60403. We start at 7:00pm and should be done by 9:00pm. It all depends on your questions. You can call 815 221-6256 or email missions@dioceseofjoliet.org and I'll be happy to chat with you on any of the missions.
