Dear Friends,
Praying that you and yours are safe and healthy. It is with a heavy heart that I share the latest news regarding our Mission Trip…In order to best serve and protect all participants and residents, our 2020 Mission Trip with Catholic HEART Workcamp has been cancelled. For now, we must answer our call as missionaries and serve our neighbor by staying safe, staying home, and staying united in prayer. This is the best way that we can love, serve, and connect at this time.
Placing our faith in our God who is always with us, we look forward to 2021! Check back for updates in the months ahead.
We remain very grateful to our team families and our parish family for supporting our fundraising efforts. All proceeds from recent fundraisers will be applied towards future mission efforts.
Many thanks for your understanding and for your partnership in Christ. We will get through this together! May God bless you and yours in abundance and fill your hearts with His love, peace, joy, and strength.
Peace,
Shannon Jones
We are gearing up for our fourth annual Mission Trip with Catholic HEART Workcamp, scheduled for July 14-19, 2019, in Boston, Massachusetts!! The 2019 team consists of 24 teens and 7 adult chaperones, who have been hard at work preparing for this mission.
The Mission Team extends our sincere thanks to the entire parish family for your overwhelming generosity and support of our efforts over the past year. Thanks to your kindness and to the partnership of our team families and sponsors, we have raised $13,089.48, a total that should fully fund our trip and allow our 31 missionaries to go out into the world and make a difference. Special thanks to local businesses, including the Ant & the Grasshopper, Applebee’s, Donaldson’s Farms, Family Kitchen Ravioli, Flanders Bagels, Green Vision, Panera Bread, and Tractor Supply, for their fundraising partnership and to Prudential for a matching contribution. Extra thanks to the parent leads and team members who worked tirelessly to organize and run the fundraisers and to the parish family for always cheering on the team and generously backing each project. We are truly grateful for your help, support, and prayers. As we set out to represent St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish and serve our brothers and sisters in Boston, we ask for your continued prayers for us and for those whom we will serve. Please know that we will be praying for you too, every step of the way. Together, united in prayer and action, we are building up the Body of Christ.
