Be A Christ To The Poor

Thanks Fr. Kenneth Criqui

by

We at Be a Christ to the Poor are so excited and grateful to Fr. Kenneth Criqui of St. Mary Parish in Carrollton, Missouri forhis recent gift of S33,000 for the construction of a multi-purpose building at St. Kirigwajjo Secondary School in Karuguuza, Kibaale District. Fr. Kenneth Criqui had already given $24,000 toward the same project. This multi-purpose building will contain among others a worship space for the celebration of Mass. This is not the first time Fr. Kenneth has supported St. Kirigwajjo Secondary School. He has visited the school twice and helped with the construction of a girls’s dormitory and a claasroom block and the new boy’s dormitory. May the good Lord bless Fr. Kenneth Criqui immensely.
