Make it Happen - Give Now

A generous donor will match gifts up to $4,000! When you help us reach our $4,000 goal by May 31, $8,000 will be put to work for the purchase of an inverter generator, batteries, and equipment for a reliable backup power system.

Living out their Mission to serve the poor, the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters established their Mission in 1991. The Sisters have initiated numerous programs, including a health clinic, a mission school, a vocational education center, a youth ministry program, and numerous religious programs, that have helped hundreds of families move toward a better quality of life. For many residents, these programs are their only hope for a better future.
