We are excited to share that St. Catherine of Siena parishioner, Lucy Backman, will be serving as a missionary in Peru for 14 months starting this November! A recent graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Lucy has been called to make a tangible impact through her faith.
After much prayer and discernment, God has led her to join Con-solatio, a Catholic nonprofit organization that offers friendship and consolation to the suffering and isolated.
As her parish family, we can support Lucy in two key ways: financially and spiritually.
Con-solatio is a registered 501(c) (3), making all donations tax-deductible. Lucy's mission
requires $600 per month to cover room and board, health insurance, and other essentials, plus $3,530 for travel and training expenses. Her overall fundraising goal is $12,000. Spiritually, Lucy asks for your prayers, especially through the rosary.
To support her mission financially, visit www.con-solatio.org, select "Sponsor," fill out the form, and be sure to choose Lucy Backman as the missionary you’re supporting. If you would like to learn more about the mission, contact Lucy at (269)-779-8539. Thank you for your prayers and generosity as we come together to support Lucy on this life-changing mission!
