Nine volunteers from St. John’s Hollywood, Maryland, left for a mission trip to Belize on Sunday, March 26, 2023. This group is collaborating with Hand in Hand Ministries there to build a house for a mother and her three children. On Saturday, the team received orientation from Brenda Gonzales, SCN, and Laverne Schaefer, SCNA, after which a commissioning ceremony was held during the liturgy at St. John’s.
Time to be Together and Reflect
Twenty-Five Sisters from Shalom Patna, Arunodaya and Provincial House came together at the SCN Provincial House in Patna on Dec. 3, 2023, for a sacred gathering of prayer and reflection.
I am so grateful to the Maryland volunteers who are giving their time and energy in providing a home for a family in great need. Laverne Schaefer, SCNA has been the coordinator at St. John’s Hollywood in helping to make these mission trips a reality.
