SPECIAL PROJECTS With such an abundant crop of many commodities this year, it would be a good opportunity to help Fr. Vincent with his special projects in his home country and those in the parish. Some farmers in our parishes are hauling corn from a sprinkler corner or corners to the Feedyard and putting it in Fr. Vincent s name. If you are already finished and have delivered to Feedyard, Scott and Karla would transfer bushels if you request them to do so. Or, if you hauled to the local elevators, you could ask them to do the same. Scott mentioned if farmers have other commodities that they would like to donate such as feed bales, silage, livestock give him a call. When the farmers watched Father s video of his last visit to Burma where the children were so happy when they received mosquito nets they thought they could surely give from their excellent crops to help put more smiles on those children s faces by helping fund the church Father is working on for them. Could you do the same? If you would like to designate your donation to a specific project, contact the Church office. Otherwise, donations will be split between Father s Burma project and the project. We are very blessed to have Fr. Vincent as our priest in our parishes.
