The Mission of Office of our diocese each Summer invites
a missionary group to share about their mission work in all
the parishes. Next weekend, May 21-22, we will have a
guest speaker at all the masses offering the annual mission
appeal. Foundation for Children in Need is a Catholic lay
organization based in Arlington Heights, IL. Dr. Geetha
Yeruva, Founder of FCN is very happy to visit us and share
about their mission work in the interior villages of India.
FCN sponsors 2000 children and college students. They
have been responsible for building several schools,
boarding homes, a community health center and two homes
for the elderly. 2000 children born with Cleft Lip and
Cleft Palate are helped with free corrective surgeries in the
past 8 years. We welcome Dr. Geetha and encourage you to
support their mission work generously. There will be a
second collection taken up on next weekend. To know
