St. James Support for Ellacuria
Submitted by Ron Leonhardt
St. James holds two Fair Trade Sales each year to support the community of Ellacuria. Ed Schlumpf, who was previously a member of Good Shepherd, continues to be a member of our Ellacuria Ministry committee and has brought his dedication to our mission at St. James.
The St. James Fair Trade Sale on June 21-22 had gross sales of $936.00. The profit (deducting the cost of the coffee, chocolate and olive oil) was $420.32 and included $113.00 in non-purchase donations. These funds are deposited in the Good Shepherd Ellacuria Fund.
Thank you, St. James parishioners, and especially Ed Schlumpf, for your generosity and support of our sisters and brothers in Ellacuria, El Salvador.
