JUST TWO MORE HEROES NEEDED - SOON

OF THE SEVEN
ONLY TWO ROOMS LEFT

My dream is to upgrade the Diocese of Kingstown Pastoral Center so that it will be a comfortable and workable place to receive retired adult volunteers in our CATHOLIC SECOND WIND program and  to be an inviting place for diocesan retreats. 
We are slowly working our way through the various areas of the building. SAINT JAMES CHAPEL,  CATHOLIC SECOND WIND headquarters and the upstairs kitchen are coming together quite nicely. 
Next, we hoped to focus on the guest rooms. We have had some amazing progress in the last three weeks.

We are so close! Let's get it done so that we can start receiving retired professional volunteers (priests, bishops and lay people) who want to help with the needs of the island missions!

One of the ceiling fans with missing blades - all of them!

A throw pillow with a hole and a large rip in it.

This old recliner doesn't really recline anymore. It is propped up against a wall to keep it from unfolding. It needs to be discarded.

A dismal room with ugly old drapes, minimal beds and what appears to be an old office desk chair.

An old school desk serves as a bedside table. There is no reading lamp.

This old recliner is ripped and needs to be sent to the dumpster.






With your gift of $7,000, we hope to do something like this with each room: an updated private bathroom, painted walls, drapes, lamps, air conditioning, new furniture and furnishings.

You will be remembered in the Pastoral Centre Masses by Bishop County and guests in your room will be invited to pray for you and your intentions.

BE A HERO - FIND A HERO

If this is not something you can afford, talk to someone who can. Make the case for me and see what happens. 

There are many ways to help the missions. One of my friends simply takes me to the airport and picks me up to help with the expenses of my mission trips. Another had a yard sale to help.
