Helping Children in Jamaica

We completed our "Faith Alive" course last week and everyone agreed it was a very good program. Enclosed is a picture of one of our attendees, Deb Brey, who was on a mission trip to Jamaica with a group from Wausau. Deb works for an optometrist and spent most of the two weeks she was there helping the doctor fit glasses for the citizens of the village. She also worked part of the time with the young children in school. The picture is of the children helping her carry the optometry supplies into the building. Deb makes this trip every two years and has already done a variety of tasks.

The afternoon class members also were pleased with the program. The facilitator of the afternoon session told me one of the women in the program (one of my former RCIA candidates) made the remark that "Catholics just don't realize what they have, it's not found anywhere else." I guess that's what we're trying to make people understand!

God Bless you!
