Dear Parishioners, Our Mission Trip to Jamaica with the Missionaries of the Poor has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus. We received the information the day before we were supposed to leave. The Missionaries do not want to put any volunteers at risk nor their residents in Jamaica who are medically fragile. They are suspending all volunteers from their site until at least May. We will be sending them all the money that many of you have so generously donated to help in their efforts. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We are very disappointed we will not be going at this time, but in light of this illness the Missionaries had to make a difficult choice which was best for them and all their many volunteers from around the world. Blessings to all. Sincerely, Maureen McLoughlin, Sister Gertrude, Maggie Hoffman, Jim Collins
