update from Parish Twiining Program

Dear All,

I just have a few brief messages today.

Sr. Mary Finnick at Matthew 25 House has made a request particularly for dentists and for ophthalmologists. Also, she needs two people to help out at Matthew 25 House for the month of April and for two weeks in May. She not only will be celebrating her 60th Jubilee in April, but she is also long overdue for a rest from six exhausting weeks in providing care for so many earthquake victims. It would be best if a commitment could be made for at least a month rather than having a lot of folks coming and going for only a week. If you want to contact Sr. Mary directly at matthew25house@yahoo.com, could you please copy me on your e-mail. Thanks.

Also, if you are sending your parish funds to Haiti through Fonkoze, you may send your letter and check two to one of the following addresses:

City National Bank OR City National Bank
382 West 125th Street 900 Broad Street
New York, New York 10027 Newark, New Jersey 07102
Attn: Sabrina Brice Attn: Juanita Fields

Smith Thompson and Raymond Lochard have been the two primary representatives in the Fonkoze Haiti office that you have been sending your e-mail's to, however, Smith Thompson is no longer at Fonkoze and Raymond Lochard, unfortunately, was killed in the earthquake. You may now address your e-mail's to either Anancaona Adamson or Natacha Blanc. The e-mail address is still the same (fundnotice@fonkoze.org) and the number to call is (800) 293-0308.

I continue to be overwhelmed at how generous you have been to PTPA and Matthew 25 House. Know that we are deeply grateful for your generosity and that you have been in our prayers.

The sea container information will be mailed out late next week. The collection periods are still April 19-30.

Blessings,

Theresa
