Notes from our Mission in Brazil -- Sr. Marie-Noelle Rondot, SMS, of our diocesan mission writes: “Due to the generosity of a Canadian couple, 15 children are being financially supported throughout this school year. These 15 families are being visited on a monthly basis to assess the child’s needs for clothing and school material. When there is a month that neither clothing or school material is necessary, food is bought for the family …This project was meant for one year but the money will be sufficient to help these children for several years!”
