Your Donation in Action November, 2007 Dear Friend, Thank you for visiting our web site and for your interest in our community and our ministry. Over the years, we have been blessed by the presence and the generosity of people just like you. It is through the contributions of others that we have been able to implement many activities in support of the poor and disadvantaged. Yes, as you surf through these pages, please appreciate the presence of the laity behind our dedicated community in every ministry that we undertake. It is through your efforts, that we assure the continuance of the mission that our Blessed Mother so dearly loves. It is also through the continuing work of the laity who stand side by side with us every day that God’s work is accomplished. God has been so good to all of us and so my dear friends have many of you. May God bless each and every one of you who visit our site and may you feel His presence and companionship as you continue on your journey. Yours in Christ, Ted Keating, SM

In
the recent past we were very grateful to receive funding to support
our vocation efforts and to implement communication tools that identify
our charism and mission to our publics. Communication efforts, including
this web site, invite young men who may be called to religious life
to seek us out. God continues to call everyone to service. It is
through your support that we can reach some that may feel called
to serve with us. And as our candidates for religious life move
through several years of formation with us, your continued support
allows us to sustain the costs of their education and housing. 
As
we continue to sustain our community we look towards some special
help in 2005 in funding the care of our senior members, who have
served God’s people faithfully over many years. When a member
of our community is forced to slow down because of aging and infirmity,
funding has to be put in place for their retirement and any medical
expenses that evolve. We have worked at meeting these needs each
year as best we can, and it is our hope and prayer that we can find
a vehicle in 2008 to fully fund our aged members. We ask your help
in making this happen.
