Fall 2023 Update
News about Sr. Stacie Marie's Mission Co-op weekend at Most Precious Blood Parish in West Collingswood, NJ in September 2023 was a remarkable event for our missionaries in the diocese. As part of our annual outreach effort, we had the opportunity to visit this parish and raise awareness about our missionary needs. Sr. Stacie Marie admirably spoke at all four masses, including two Vietnamese masses, where she encountered a warm and attentive congregation. The parishioners' reverence during worship was truly inspiring. We are incredibly grateful for their heartfelt support. Every contribution received during the weekend will be used to further our missions, particularly in Egypt, Eritrea, Ghana, and Guinea Bissau. It is through the kind prayers and generous donations of individuals like these that we are able to continue our important work. We pray that God blesses and rewards them abundantly for their generosity and solidarity with our mission.
