The pequenos at NPH  Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos need us now more than ever.  In addition to our Lenten Almsgiving campaign at St. Josaphat, they have had to cancel fundraising events that were budgeted to bring in over $1,000,000 during the months of March - June.

Fr. Francis has challenged 20 sponsors to step forward by Sunday.  We are well on our way, but need a few more sponsors to reach our goal.

We received some clarification on sponsorship levels.  It is $600 to sponsor a child.  It is $300 to sponsor a home "Mi Casa."  Every dollar helps; if you would like to donate another amount, use this link.

Thanks be to God there are no cases of COVID-19 in any of the 10 NPH homes in Latin America.  This is especially important because many of the children have compromised health and/or special needs.  All of the international volunteers have been sent home, and the caregivers remaining are doing whatever they can to protect the children.  Those who are able are living on the campuses.  The NPH university students have returned to the homes and are stepping in to care for the pequenos.  The staff is prepared, however, should an outbreak occur.  Areas are being prepared to quarantine anyone who exhibits symptoms.  The safety and well-being of the children is primary in all the decisions that are being made.

If you are able to financially support NPH at this time, God Bless you.  NPH has requested prayers for the health and safety of the caregivers and the pequenos, as well as for a swift end to this pandemic.  

Thank you.
