PRAYER 4 NICANDRA
@16h30 today MASS will be celebrated 4
NICANRA.As a COMMUNITY, let us join
her FAMILY in PRAYER as they go thru this
difficult time
 28 January 2004.
Tragedy struck the
Filipino Migrant Worker community
in Geneva. On this day,
NICANDRA DE LOS SANTOS
died together with her
dreams and aspirations.
At a young age of 23 she died
far from her country
and her family.
On the 15th of April 2004,
her body was flown back home.
 This spread is dedicated
in her memory so that
we may not forget
our obligation as a community
to prevent another tragedy from
happening again.
Let us build a community
where there is
RESPECT and SUPPORT
for each other.
Our PRAYERS & ACTIONS
can make a difference.
