We are a committee of parishioners tasked by our Parish Priest to administer a charity fund for the purpose of financially assisting committee approved projects across a broad geographical range of countries reflective of the current Parish demography.
Through the generosity of the parishioners, the GO Committee will provide financial support for small-scale, primarily education-based projects in developing and less economically developed countries on a one-time, medium or long-term basis as determined by the Committee.
The current GO Members are Fr Paul Friel, Frank Kofi, Jacquie Julen, Joselito Benitez, Oscar Fornoza, Patti McAnulty, Patricia Matthews and Vicky Brohier.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment. For any further information or details, please contact a member of GO or email globaloutreach(at)johnxxiii.ch.
Letter from Student at Lodwar Boy’s School, Turkana received on Ash Wednesday
“Many thanks for your charitable contributions in 2019. One of the scholars that your contribution has supported is a Deaf Student in the Philippines named Jerome. Here is the link for you to see and “hear” from this Deaf Scholar.”
“Here are the links to the July and August report of Fr Livinus from the Lodwar Parish in Turkana, Kenya. Your contributions have eased their sufferings a bit and have given the students needed equipment and reading materials. The September update will include video messages from the beneficiaries. Thank you.”
The first Global Outreach meeting was held last Feb 9
