Deanery 2 Fall Gathering - Sept 19th in Canby

St. Edward CCW Service Commission (Jan Bot is chairperson) is sponsoring supply drives that will benefit some of our local services as well as reaching those further away. Now we would like to add the "One More Time" thrift store.

"One More Time" is doing well but if you would like to help them out in ways other than working at the store, some frequently used supplies would be welcome. Price stickers (without prices already printed on them), masking tape, tags with connectors, paper towels, toilet paper, glass cleaner, and baggies of all sizes. Hangers for children's size clothing are also needed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Barb Guttormsson at 872.6931 or Brenda Verschelde at 507.317.9975. Thank you, especially to our "One More Time" volunteers!

Fr. Bruno Santiago Well Water Project of India
 
For our new 2022-2023 Council of Catholic Women year, one of our diocesan service projects is Father Bruno Santiago's well project in India.  Fr. Bruno is a New Ulm Diocesan priest based in Fairfax and serving the All Saints AFC.  In the 10-minute video link included above, Fr. Bruno explains the need for the well at the Monastery he is from in southern India as well as the three stages of development.  
The history of St. Edward CCW supporting the diocesan service project/s is that the money we make at our North Pole Extravaganza's bake sale is utilized for these projects.  However, if someone individually is interested in making a donation that too is accepted and appreciated.
Please let Jan Bot know if you have any questions.  If you would like to make a personal donation, let her know and she will assist you with that.
