Belize Immersion Trip - January 17-25, 2011

A group of volunteers, accompanied by Sisters Luke and Nancy, will leave for Belize tomorrow morning to build a house for a family in need in Belize City. They will return on January 25.

Sisters at St. Louise Convent in Pittsburgh, PA raised $8,750 for all the building materials for the house and to equip the home with plumbing and electricity. Additionally, they are sending one of their employees to represent them on this trip. The house will be named "The Pittsburgh House of Charity".

The group met today at Nazareth, KY for an orientation, and during morning liturgy, SCNs and all those gathered offered a blessing for the volunteers.
