The Appalachia Work Camp wishes to thank our parishioners for their incredible generosity during our recent Annual Parish Appeal. We collected $4,675.00 and we appreciate it more than we can say. Please know that every dime will be used for paint, lumber, nails, drywall, doors, windows, food, gasoline, van rentals and other items needed to help the people of Kentucky. Pope Francis said: "Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit" Thank you and God bless you for helping us to share ourselves with the poor.
