Be A Christ To The Poor

St. John LaLande Parish Fundraiser

by

On August 7th & 8th, 2010, St. John LaLande Parish in Blue Springs, MO, hosted Fr. Anthony Bingi, a priest from Hoima Diocese, Uganda, who is also director of Be A Christ to the Poor Foundation Mugalike/Bulindi Orphan projects.

We at Be a Christ to the Poor Foundation are most grateful to Fr. Ron Elliot and the Parish Community of St. John LaLande for your support of Fr. Anthony Bingi and the Foundation totalling nearly $5000.00. We want to assure you that your support will go a long way in helping the foundation bring much needed hope to more orphans. We would also like to invite Fr. Ron and the parish to come and visit our projects in Uganda to see for yourselves how lives have been touched and changed by this generosity. May the Good Lord Bless you all.
