For the past 2 ½ years, I have worked at a new parish in Morelia Mexico named Divino Nino Jesus (Jesus, the Divine Child). This has been a great experience and I am blessed with the opportunity to serve as a missionary priest in the archdiocese here. I have undertaken construction of a new church. Through generosity of many and hard work of parishioners we completed major phases of construction. N
ow we are on our final push to acquire pews, bell tower and lighting. Our Sunday collections total about $450 US. In addition, each month we sell food after mass and sponsor two dinner events called a kermes in April and December. The end of each year we sponsor a parish raffle. All proceeds go to completing our church, including pews, laying tile, purchasing widows and a roof. We are inviting you to participate in our raffle and or make a donation. I estimate handcrafted wooden pews for the church will cost $25,000. I am asking each of you for $100 donations toward this project. For your donation of $100 I will issue you 10 tickets for our parish raffle, with each ticket is worth $10. Make checks payable to Ron Wekerle and send your to Father Dan O Rourke, 1701 26th Street South #2, Great Falls, MT, 59405. Please keep me and the Divino Nino Jesus parish in your prayers at Christmas. Should you want more information about this exciting project or more details regarding what I’m doing in Mexico, contact me directly, and I’ll be happy to tell you more? Thank you for your support. May you have a faith filled advent and Christmas. Ron Wekerle
