The committees for People Helping People” have been hard at work. PHP will hold an Annual Appeal for the month of April, in honor and memory of Father Bernardino. This will include many events in which you, as attendees of this mass, and others in the community are encouraged to participate! These will be announced as the details are firmed up.

One of the first events will be a Walk-a-Thon in Santa Catarina Park, on Sunday, April 7. We’re calling this the “Orange Walk”,honoring the precious gift that Father Bernardino received as a Christmas gift as a young boy, when it was possibly his only Christmas gift. People are encouraged to solicit sponsors, to donate, to walk them-selves, and encourage others to walk. In addition to raising funds for PHP, we see this as a way to raise awareness, of the poor in Madeira, the needs they are facing, and how PHP can make a difference.

We hope you will give prayerful consideration to getting involved in the events of the upcoming special Father Bernardino Memorial Appeal.
