This summer, due to the pandemic, we cannot have an in-person visitor, so our Mission appeal is virtual. St. Edna has chosen to support and hear about the School Sisters of St. Francis, which is an international community who, for almost 150 years, strive to be the Face of Jesus for people of all ages and abilities through ministries in education, health care, pastoral care and social services. The Mission in Bangalore, India includes the Asha Bhavan Home, where elder women who have been abandoned are given a safe place to live with dignity and love. The Sisters provide nourishing food, medical services and compassionate care to about 24 destitute mostly elder women who have been abandoned by their families. Many are bedridden, mentally challenged or extremely fragile in mind and spirit. The sisters provide these women with help and hope, enabling them to regain not only their health, but also their sense of self worth and self respect.
