Carmelite Missions Appeal
THIS WEEKEND
October 22 – 23, 2022
A second collection will be taken this weekend for the missionary work done by Carmelite Fathers in many parts of the underdeveloped world, especially in Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, the Philippines and Kenya.
In Sicuani, Peru, one of the most remote areas of the Southern Andes Mountains, Carmelites care for an entire diocese. The Ordinary is Bishop Pedro Bustamante López. His people live in the midst of extreme poverty. Ninety percent suffer from malnutrition and lung disease.
Carmelites in Sicuani and Mexico, El Salvador and many other places must feed the hungry, attend the sick, provide schools and other services to their pain-filled people, as they proclaim the Good News of God’s loving kindness.
Jesus promised an eternal reward to those who would give even a cup of cold water to the poor in His Name. Your generosity in the collection for Carmelite Missions the weekend of October 22nd and 23rd will allow Bishop Bustamante and so many other Carmelites to give their people much more than a cup of cold water. The Lord will indeed reward you as only He can!
