Beginning Anew in 2017 Part 1
Fr. Mike and Fr. Vitaliy celebrating mass together in Magadan. Fr. Vitaliy has been with us and helping us with our St. Mother Teresa Group for our 2017 acts of mercy.
We had so much going on toward the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 that we just must tell you all about it! Retreats, group meetings and Vacation Bible School has been on the agenda. All the while we had been preparing for The Christmas Play and Christmas Mass. We are now back to our regular routines and so elated as we welcome our first baby of 2017!
Each year our parishioner's volunteer hours of their time to put together a hundred or more bags for the children who come from all over Magadan to witness the Christmas Play. This year was no different than any other, except that we keep getting more children who come to learn about the birth of our Lord.
Last year we asked for vitamins for our children, our moms and dads.
You so generously responded that we had a years supply! Now that our supply is gone we are asking our friends to once again make a donation of vitamins.
Soft chewables for children (i.e. gummy bear vitamins) and
generic multi vitamins for our moms and dads. Again we want just good multi vitamins for men or women and chewables for our children.
Please send vitamins to:
Fr. Michael Shields
Box 171
Magadan, Russia 685000
You don't need to send a large box, just a few bottles so the cost of sending is less as well. I bless you for your faithfulness to us and our needs. Vitamins in the lives of our children and families will help them to grow healthy and happy. Thank you for your donations and may God keep you and your family happy and healthy!
