"I was thirsty, and you gave me drink." (A project for the Year of Mercy)

During the Year of Mercy, remembering that one of the Corporal Works of Mercy is to "give drink to the thirsty," the Development Office of Sacred Heart Province is sponsoring a project to raise $50K for the digging of fresh water wells in Africa.

Donations have already started to come in along with a further pledge for $3,000. We invite you to join us in our effort to provide safe drinking water for our sisters and brothers in Africa.

To make a significant change in the lives of many people, you can send your donation to:

Year of Mercy Project
Development Office
3140 Meramec
St. Louis, MO 633118-4399

Or, if you wish to donate online, go to the Franciscan Charities web page at http://www.franciscancharities.org/

Click on the "Donate" link and follow the directions.

If you wish to be informed as the project progresses, please provide your contact information, especially your e-address.

Peace and every good,
