Once again our parish will participate in the fall coffee hour fundraiser to help provide medical cards for the Buye diocese.
Since 2018, people in our diocese have raised funds through an autumn coffee hour appeal, inviting individuals to give $5 for coffee each Sunday in September to make a difference in the lives of many of our brothers and sisters living in Burundi.
Last year, parishes of the Edmonton diocese raised $8,077 for the Buye diocese to purchase medical cards. Each card costs $5, enabling people to save 80 per cent of the cost of medical care for a full year. Sadly, this coverage is out of reach for most people living in the Diocese of Buyé.
Parishioners were encouraged to donate $5 for coffee
All funds collected go directly to this worthwhile cause. A collection box will be set up in the church hall or parishioners can also etransfer their donation with a note that it is for the Buye Coffee Fund.
