ANNUAL MISSION FAIR FOR THE SISTERS OF ST PETER CLAVER - SAT 24 FEBRUARY 10AM TO 1PM
The Annual Mission Fair for the Sisters of St Peter Claver is being held on Saturday 24 February from 10am to 1pm in the convent grounds at 1 Mersey Street, Island Bay.
Each year the Sisters fundraise for a specific cause and in 2024 it is:
1. TANZANIA: Renovation of the bore hole and installation of clean water tanks. The direct beneficiaries are 200 people including patients, students, the orphanage, workers and missionaries living in the Mgongo Centre and the neighbouring communities.
2. INDIA: To purchase 500 blankets to be distributed to 250 families who were affected by ethnic conflict in Manipur. When this happened many lives were lost, thousands of houses torched, churches burnt and over 50,000 families were displaced.
3. INDIA: To help poor families with a sustainable source of income through sheep farming.
I hope you will be able to support the work of the sisters by coming along to the Fair.
Thank you all in advance.
A special message from the Sisters of St Peter Claver:
“We the Sisters of St. Peter Claver, wish to invite anyone around the area or who are able to join us to come on down, please help us support these three projects from different parts of the world, we thank you in advance and we pray for you and for your intentions.”
