I, it Is Inauguration of Agape of Agape Inauguration Centre Wellness Seniors’ Agape’s story is nothing short of miracles that follow throughout the years. Agape belongs to God. Anything that belongs to God cannot fail. “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORE- SAKE YOU” said the Lord. Why do I tell you all this? Agape was blessed with the full support Agape was blessed with the full for of St. Paul’s Charitable Foundation such many years. Their volunteer workers among as Mayo Brewer, Mike Campolieto St Paul’s others who were members of Board of Directors, have generously provided us with food and food baskets for the most vulnerable families together with monetary gifts for them. The Foundation had to close in 2015 because they could not obtain a charitable number from the federal government. This caused Agape to be the recipient of a large donation in 2015. These friends are still with us today, (with the exception of Mayo who moved out to live with God) volunteering in donations and supplies all year round. ST. PAUL’S CHARITABLE ST.
