Last Lent, in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Saint Richard’s Parish led a Lenten project alongside with Saint Edward’s and Saint Patrick’s parishes in the Catholic Community in Central Racine (WI). The Lenten Campaign was “God’s Love Knows No Boundaries”. The three parishes worked together to support HALO in Racine, an organization that helps the homeless in the city of Racine and the Community of Saint Paul in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The idea was to reach out to our brothers and sisters at home and abroad. Saint Richard’s parish committed to fundraise for 20 bathrooms to help 20 families to have a full bathroom with hot shower and toilet at their homes in the rural areas of Independencia, in Cochabamba, Bolivia, project carried out by the Community of Saint Paul there. Thanks to the great generosity of everyone Saint Richard’s was able to double the goal. Now, 40 families in the Andes mountains will benefit from this great campaign. The following video is a follow up of the project. Gemma Regales, a member of the Community of Saint Paul, and project coordinator, narrates the work that has been accomplished so far. We hope you enjoy it.
