Living the Gospel by evangelizing our faith in the greater world

Gia Lao Parish resides in the mountainous Diocese of Xuan Loc in Vietnam. Its parishioners, mostly poor, work on the hillside farms. The Pastoral Mission Fund, with the support of ShareLife, provided a one-time grant so the parish could acquire resources it could not otherwise provide. This includes bibles and hymnals, along with training for 60 catechists, who lead marriage preparation and catechism classes. With your support, Gia Lao Church is bringing faith to a community in the greater world.

April 22 is the next ShareLife Sunday.

Please give generously.

Living the Gospel by supporting the Deaf community

Imagine you were a Deaf child and your parents and siblings didn’t know sign language. Your parents could gesture in a rudimentary way, but how do you share your joys, fears and needs? Silent Voice teaches American Sign Language and Deaf culture to families so they can share a common language. Says one grateful parent, “I’m so passionate about Silent Voice because their Family Communication Program rescues children from social isolation.” Last year more than 750 Deaf children and adults received help through ShareLife-supported programs at Silent Voice.

April 22 is the next ShareLife Sunday.

Please give generously.
