A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR A FRIEND OF CHINCHA ALTA, PERU!: we received a letter from Sr.
Pauline Coulterman of the Sisters of St. Joseph who spent many years working with the people of
Chincha Alta, Peru. In the letter Sister invites you “to share your Christmas with a needy family of
Chincha Alta, Peru. Many Peruvians are still struggling to put a roof over their head and keep their
family together following the 2007 Earthquake.”
Sister will be travelling to Chinch Alta in February and hopes to be able to bring some “Christmas
Gifts from Canadian Friends.” She notes that $25 is a very appropriate “Christmas Gift” and lists
what this and other amounts will purchase. Sister’s letter with attached donation form may be
found on the tables at the church entrances.
