The Mission Office of our Archdiocese each Summer invites a missionary group to share about their mission work in all the parishes. Next weekend, we will have a guest speaker at all the masses offering the annual mission appeal. Foundation for Children in Need is a Catholic lay organization based in Arlington Heights, IL. Dr. Geetha Yeruva, Founder/President of FCN is incredibly happy to visit us and share about their mission work in the interior villages of India. FCN sponsors 2000 children and college students. They provide free medical check-ups and medicine to thousands of needy people and children. 2000 children born with Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate are helped with free corrective surgeries in the past 9 years. We welcome Dr. Geetha and encourage you to support their mission work generously. There will be a second collection taken up next weekend.
