A
Letter of Appeal From Our Foundresses
October
4, 2000
Meriden, Connecticut
Dear Friends
and Benefactors,
Greetings
and blessings on this Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Each year
on this feast the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist write to
ask your support of the Franciscan
Life Center through our Annual Appeal:
A Foundation of Hope. Your continued generosity helps
us fulfill our mission of service to those in need. We
are all aware that tomorrow's future is in the hands of today's
youth. This is why the Franciscan Life Center seeks to continuously
improve and create new ways to reach the youth of today.
|
As
Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist we are committed to being
a medium of hope for others through our programs of counseling,
education, spiritual enrichment and health care. This year,
through our Annual Appeal,
we would like to make you more aware of our programs for young
children, adolescents, and young adults. Our underlying purpose
is to help them recapture and restore a deep sense of the sacred
in all of creation and in the meaning of human life from conception
to natural death.

In order
to enhance the counseling, education, and youth-centered programs
we need to continue to develop youth scholarships, our activities
area, animal shelters, environmental surroundings and reduce the
debt on our new buildings. We believe that through our counseling,
education, spiritual enrichment and land-based programs youth
develop a deeper understanding of creation, themselves, each other,
and God. This deeper sense of caring, work and re-creation enriches
the life of the child, the family, the community and the Church.
Please help
us be A Foundation of Hope
by printing this page, completing the form below and mailing it
today.Your support of the Franciscan mission is deeply appreciated.
You and your
loved ones will be remembered in a Mass of celebration on January
1st, the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God, and on the first day
of each month of the year 2001.
May the Lord
bless you and keep you and grant you His peace.
In St. Francis,
Mother Rosemae
Pender, F.S.E.
Foundress and Mother General
