Please join us as we extend a warm welcome to Paul Wilkes, Sr. Sophy and Rajeswari who come to us by way of Kochi, India.   Recall that this past summer Mr. Paul Wilkes was here at St. Francis when we gave more than $25,000 to help the Home of Hope Orphanage. 

During this visit Mr. Wilkes will report to us about how they are using those funds.    Also, this past fall students at St. Francis School launched an additional fund-raising project to help build a “Field of Dreams” for the girls at Home of Hope Orphanage. Their goal was to raise funds that could be used to transform a vacant lot into a playground for these girls. Sr. Sophy and Rajeswari reside at Home of Hope-India.

Discussion will focus on the Home of Hope Orphanage.  Entertainment will include an Indian dance performed by Rajeswari as well as a special performance by our parish hand bell choir, directed by Mrs. Ginny Birchler. Refreshments will showcase foods from India, specially prepared by Indian members of our parish.

If you would like to assist in this special evening (especially those who are from the Indian community) or have questions, please contact the St. Francis School Office at 734.821.2200.
