Announcing our new website

It is another thing to open our ears to listen, our eyes …

Feeding the least of his people

This year’s Parish Twinning Sea-Container Project was completed when the 4th and last container was picked up from the Smyrna warehouse this past Monday. At this point all four containers should be in Port Everglade waiting to ship out tomorrow the 16th.
