Ministry Continues                                                          Yvonne Chow

      We received a donation as a memorial gift from a new donor recently. To our surprise, we discovered that the deceased requested that all gifts be made out to our Foundation!  Her relative told me that this 99-year-old woman's cousin was a Jesuit missionary in China for six years in the 1950s, and he spent time in a labor camp for the Lord when he was in China.  Evangelization among Chinese was always dear to her heart!

Last year, a donor was in a critical condition in the hospital, and he kept asking his daughter to confirm that our Foundation was included in his will.  Fr. Aldrich just happened to be in town that time, so we went to visit him in the hospital and prayed for his recovery.  Later he miraculously recovered and now can even attend Sunday Mass at church!

If you would like to include our Foundation into your planned gift or living trust, please contact me at clmadvancement@gmail.com or 408.728.0627.

Our Foundation has been growing steadily in all aspects.  Thank God for providing just enough funds through you and many others like you each year.  Next school year, we will need $450,000 for student scholarships and lay missionaries’ evangelization expenses which includes salary, pension, and health insurance premium.  Thank you for your support in the past years, and we sincerely invite you to continue supporting us.  Please also invite one or two of your good friends or family members to join you in supporting us.  May the joy and peace of the Lord pass from generation to generation and be extensively accepted among Chinese!
