The following report comes to us from team leader Sharon with our St. Raphael parish team in Crystal, MN:
As the weather couldn’t decide whether or not to rain, we set up tables both inside and outside and arranged our food and free items tables to be sheltered from any rain. While we did receive a few very light rain showers, it was not enough to dampen the crowd, which was the largest we had this year at 47 participants receiving prayer, sacramentals, and meals.
The participant from last week, originally from Peru, came back and happily reported to Phil that she now has a job. Gina, another participant from last week, came back again this week as a volunteer. We gave out several medals-including Our Lady of Guadalupe as we have a growing number of Latinos in our area. We are looking forward to our last three weeks and hope we have good weather and opportunities to evangelize.
