Since 2017, our Collaborative has been a part of the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) family, helping to transform the lives of vulnerable children throughout Latin America and the Caribbean through the generous support and sponsorship of our parishioners…
Each day, NPH provides nutritious meals and food baskets for 8,000 children and adults who might not otherwise eat. At every main home for children, NPH offers a sustainable farming option which helps harvest 15-30% of the food needed at that home. The remaining food needed must be purchased, which costs $2 million annually.
To continue helping in the vital work of NPH, our Collaborative will be taking up a special second collection at Masses on April 27- 28 to help fill a deficit gap in NPH’s food program…
On Monday, April 29th at 4:00pm on Zoom, Discerning Deacon will host a virtual gathering to hear from stakeholders from the United States and Canada whose stories, experiences and examples give us living witness for what is needed and what could be possible for our church in this third millennium.
All are invited to a focused synodal encounter with a listening presence from voting synod delegates. This will include a conversation in the Spirit to expand and deepen the discernment. Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish will be available.
