It was overwhelming. On December 6-7 our ministry sponsored a sale before and after our liturgies. There were a variety of hand knit and crocheted items as well as other hand-crafted goods - "sweet dreams" pillowcases with books, wine cozies, table runners, crane ornaments and more. We had a gourmet bake sale and a raffle for an original watercolor
painted by our very own Marty Bucher and a full-size afghan made by our
very own Jayne Camporeale.

"In a recent homily, Fr. Mike spoke of God's urging to comfort His people, the poor. In that quest the Prayer Shawl Ministry of Newman Center did an amazing service for our parish and the Medical Mission to Honduras. Their caring and giving spirit was reflected in the beauty of their knitting and their delicious baked goods, and in the many hours of preparation for the fundraiser. Their efforts gave the community of Newman Center the opportunity to share in the comforting of the people of San Juan Pueblo. One act of Love, multiplied through our community! Padre Marcos and the many families that receive our medical attention will be forever grateful."
