Thank you for the mass stipends. We will have the masses offered for the intentions of those who donated the money and the money will help us with our hospice in Misrod, a home for the poor who are in need of food, shelter and medical care. We pick them up from the streets, railway stations, bus stands, etc. We give them a new life in our home.

Your financial assistance with Mass Stipends has brought a notable improvement to the community of Katibunga, which has become a center to the lives of the people in the area. With it we managed to make a cement block bridge to the monastery and parish church; built water furrows for irrigation and personal uses; planting of trees to counter the deforestation all around us.

We wish to acknowledge gratefully the generous amount for Mass Stipends. Indeed, this is a great help for us to regularly have Eucharistic Celebration in our chapel where attendance of mass goers from neighboring homes is increasing. Our chaplains are particularly assisted too, in their traveling expenses to reach our place.

We have received your check for Mass Stipends which you so kindly sent us. We hereby confirm that masses are said for the intentions of those who have donated the money. The area where our monastery is situated has many poor people and we try in our own way to be of assistance to them. For the past few years, we've been using the money from mass intentions to provide financial aid, medicine, etc. for these poor neighbors. Please convey our gratitude to the donors and assure them of our prayers.

We received with great pleasure the mass stipends from AIM USA. We are a small community of 21 professed members and our life is a little difficult in spite of our efforts to produce eggs, milk and jam. We provide Mass for the sisters and other close neighbors. The precariousness of the country makes mass stipends modest and rare. We are grateful for the material aid you send us and for the prayers of the monasteries and friends in the United States—this encourages us.

With joy we have received the check for mass stipends. With that money we can help some poor people who come to the monastery. Lastly we must help some women victims of abuses and their children. They have only their clothes and nothing more. We give them beds and other needful things. We are also very thankful for the books, always welcome in our library. In our country good books are very dear and we cannot buy them.

the mass stipends we received are a great help to cover our provision expenses which have become unbearable. Although we have a small piece of land we can produce vegetables only in rainy season; in dry season we cannot produce anything.
