Thank You to Care & Share |
On Sunday, July 11, 2021, the Joliet parish of St. Paul the Apostle Church presented a Partnership Award from their outreach ministry, Loaves & Fishes; Change for Chipata, to the international charity, Care and Share. Tony Devassy, President, received the award at the 10:00am Mass with his wife, Dr. Elsie Devassy and the congregation looking on. John and Jacque Klika, chairs of St. Paul’s outreach ministry, introduced the recipients for the award.
Throughout most of 2020 the two charities partnered to raise $31,000.00 to install solar power at Zambia’s Minga Mission Hospital. The hospital lacked adequate power due to the fact that long droughts had affected the power system. They are now able to function 100% off the power system when necessary. Many lives are being saved.

Vases are ready & waiting for your garden flowers to help us celebrate the mass! We'd love if you would share your garden beauty with the parish. Please just bring your fresh cut flowers right before the altar and help us fill the vases for the next couple of weeks! THANKS |
