Vancouver Parishioners to help FSSP with food distribution, house construction, and teaching English

This July 27 – August 10, Lucy and Bernadette Bonner, of the FSSP apostolate of Holy Family Parish in Vancouver, are to travel to Piura, Peru, with the FSSP. This two week long trip with other youth volunteers from various FSSP apostolates will include several charitable works, including (but not limited to) visiting and helping at orphanages, distributing food to the poor, building houses, assisting with work at the local hospice, assisting in the parish’s free clinic, etc.

Their individual fundraising goal is $ 3,000.00 each (totalling $ 6,000.00 for the two of them). They look forward to experiencing this together but are in need of sufficient funds for both of them to attend.

Lucy and Bernadette would be the first Canadians to take part in the annual mission trip.

Online donations can be made through http://www.gofundme.com/okwq7w. You can scroll through and have a look at their campaign! (Not tax deductible).

Upon their return, they will update us on how the trip went with some pictures.

Online donations are anonymous but they will be offering up the entire trip – sacrifices, discomfort, daily prayers, masses, communions, and joys – for their benefactors !
