Last sunday offering |
|
At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be sent directly to the office.
|
For October 2020 the our offering will go to Dismas Home in Manchester which provides a safe, secure, familial environment in which women emerging from prison can heal. Their services address medical and mental health concerns, achieving financial stability, securing long-term housing, and repairing family relationships. The program varies in length (6-9 months on average) depending on the needs of each of the eight residents.

Our November Last Sunday Outreach Offering recipient
Since 2012, St. Andrew's has supported Clinique Saint Esprit, in Croix des Bouquets ("Cross of Flowers"), Haiti. Specifically, we have helped with the $18,000 salary of one of the two pediatricians on staff. The pictures below attest to the charm of her patients, for whom she competently provides primary care, inoculations, and vaccinations. Despite COVID-19, this community of New London remains relatively healthy, and we have access to reliable health care. In Haiti, there are two doctors and 1.8 nurses for every 10,000 people. Clinique Saint Esprit helps to address some of this disparity, treating 200 people a day on an annual budget of $250,000. On November 29th, may we share our blessings generously with Clinique Saint Esprit.
