Parish Ministry Website

Description of Ministries:

Our small group of Sisters and Associates began the project for “Lukelesia’s Wells’ in Kenya last year. Along with Immaculate Conception Parish, Arlington, we were able to have two wells built in Siritanyi, Kenya.

Description of fundraising efforts (if any):

Our small group continues to be interested in the needs of these rural people. Although our efforts are small, we have been collecting money (donations, garage sales) with the intention of building latrines. Sr. Margaret Parry who works at the Carmelite Monastary and is a friend of Sr. Teresa Benedicta, Lukelesia’s daughter, is spearheading our efforts. The political unrest in Kenya has delayed this project for now.
