Malcolm Rodrigues as our contribution to the rebuilding of the church in Bartica, on behalf of all 1 of you who contributed during last year’s collection. Thank you very much for your generosity. The fund raising party held in June, 2014 netted a profit of approximately $14,000. This money will be used for the R. C. Diocesan Soup Kitchen program, the retirement fund for Guyanese Diocesan priests living in Guyana, an Educational Fund in memory of the late Fr. Ronald Pieters and this year’s annual Guyana Mass. The financial statement from this event will be posted at the entrances to the church and auditorium. Thank you very much for supporting this effort.
