Liberia Benefits from Marist Solidarity

The Ebola crisis in Liberia is still not over.  Our school remains closed as the country continues the battle against this dreaded disease, but the good news is that funds collected from our Marist Schools as well as three Brothers of St. John of God and a Franciscan Sister have arrived in Monrovia and have enabled St. Joseph Hospital to reopen.  Now malaria and the other common illnesses can be treated.  This is a sign of hope for the people as well as a sign of the solidarity of the Marist Family in this country.  Let us continue with out prayers for the complete restoration to normality in that beleaguered country and others suffering from this plague. 
With Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, it's also time to bond together to provide food for Lazarus House and other institutions which provide Thanksgiving meals for those who can't afford them.   In all of this, let us offer prayers of thanksgiving for all that we have and for the ability and generosity to help others.
Bro. Rene
