Dear Friends in Christ,
I have extended an invitation to Rev. George Knab O.M.I. to come to our parish on the weekend of July10-11, 2010. Father Knab will speak to you about the work being done by Christian Foundation for Children and Aging, and how this provides a trustworthy way to actively participate in the social outreach of the Catholic Church and answer the Gospel call to serve the poor.
CFCA is a lay Catholic organization that has served more than 6000,000 children, youth and elderly in 24 developing countries since 1981-empowering them to make more choices in their lives, live with dignity and reach their potential. CFCA’s unique sponsorship program is highly personalized. It matches a child, youth or aging person at a project overseas with a sponsor in the U.S. who cares about and encourages them.
For about a dollar a day, a sponsor helps to provide much-needed nourishing food , medical and dental care, the chance for a child to go to school, livelihood programs for families and much more. All of these efforts are directed at affirming the dignity of every person in their local community. Please join me in welcoming Father Knab to our parish.
Sincerely yours in Jesus Christ,
Fr. Hildebrand
