Thank You from Mutomo
Thank you once again Fr. Barry and all the parishioners of Christ The King, Holy Rood and St. Joachim for your generous gift this Christmas. It is only with help from benefactors that the Sisters can manage to make a difference in such a deprived community as Mutomo. I am aware that last year has been a difficult time for us all, be assured that your money will not be wasted and will go towards the desired end. Gratefully yours, St. Marian Dolan and the community.
Thank You from Marie Williams
On behalf of the Salvation Army and the Oasis, I would like to thank you for the generous response to my Xmas appeal. You have put a big smile on a lot of faces. May God bless you all - Marie Williams
