Update on "practical charity"

On Sunday, in my post Practical charity needed now, I asked for your generosity to help a young girl whose baby was due. I have heard that thanks to donations received from you and from Fr Z's blog, the young lady now has everything that she needs. the pregnancy crisis team who contacted me said
Can't tell you how moved I am with the generosity of your bloggers.

Your bloggers have made this babies first christmas an incredible one.
Thank you all very much for your response.

Christmas is a good time for making some charitable donations as well as buying nice things for our friends and families. If you want to support this kind of work, two highly recommended groups are:

Sisters of the Gospel of Life
Good Counsel Network

You'll find "Donate" links at both.

Also the Sacred Heart Fathers Mission in Moldova is worthy of support.

As they note:

"The only priests in this part of Moldova are the eleven SCJs, spread over 5 parishes. They are far apart and, assisted by some Sisters, do what they can to minister to the spiritual and material needs of this impoverished people. Problems abound: alcoholism, prostitution, family breakdown, homelessness, suicide. The country has many young people who turn to these things because their future looks bleak through lack of education and work."

Practical charity is so important in this area! It's important to pray and to act :)

Here's a great Christmas novena to go along with the prayer part...
