POOR BOX DONATIONS
Money collected during the month of May from the poor boxes will be for the benefit of the Little Sisters of the Poor. The mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor is to serve the elderly poor throughout the world. The Sisters have been serving since 1869 in various locations in the City of Philadelphia. They are currently located in Southwest Philadelphia and attend to close to 100 residents in independent apartments, personal care and skilled nursing units. Their vision is to contribute to the Culture of Life by caring for each individual with love and compassion. The total collected from the Poor Boxes during April was $275. Father generously matched that amount thus enabling us to send $550 to the Jesuit Volunteer Corp.
