Thank you so much to both parishes for your contribution of $850.00 to assist the international students of St. Gregory s University. Your generosity is touching and much appreciated. With these funds and what I have received from others, I am confident that the students will have enough to help provide for themselves and their transportation without additional worry or concern! I am also happy to report that everyone has somewhere to stay. In fact, one of the host families was able to offer housing for all four Japanese students so that they could be with each other during the break!
