In the Spirit of Christmas
Dear friends and benefactors,
The Aid to the Martyr Churches Inc. feasts its 20th years of existence in Canada.
You have, in your hands, our call for sharing - the call for funds - of this New Year 2008. Indeed, we are confronted, day after day, with the basic difficulties of our brothers and sisters from countries as Rumania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Caribbean countries, African countries... Can you bring us help? Can you send us your gift which would fit in one of the following categories?
- Mass intentions for the priests to whom we give assistance - and which have insufficient incomes for a decent life;
- Pastoral assistance (purses for students in need, purchase of didactic material and books for the teaching of the religion; maintenance of the seminars and schools; wages for professors; financing for summer camps for rest and prayer);
- Apostolate through the media of information (financing of radio and television broadcasts, local pamphlets; booklets having as theme the Christian faith and the prayer; training for Christian agents working in the Medias);
- Assistance for subsistence, for priests and deacons;
- Construction of churches in villages, chapels, homes for children, classrooms, dispensaries, community workshops (monthly financing);
- Training of seminarians in monasteries and institutions of Eastern tradition;
- Charitable Assistance for the families of those who suffered in the totalitarian-atheist period
- Impression of books and booklets with religious catechetic subjects;
- Resourcement of priests in monasteries; etc
By helping in the past our mission, you contributed to the realization of projects like:
- Construction of a church in Oradea, in Romania. Costing 150,000 $, its plans were provided by one community from St. Laurent City, which also made a gift of 40,000 $ for its construction. The new church was built between 1992 and 1995;
- Installations and works in a monastery named Maxineni, Romania. The cost of the fence and other works was 2,000 $, the Quebecer benefactors provided this amount of money in offering;
- Medical Dispensary in Oradea, Romania. The instruments in value of 15,000 $ were provided by several benefactors and Quebecer institutions;
- Drugs for the parish of the Mother of God in Bucharest. Total value: 17,000 $. Provided by Quebecer pharmacists;
- Cars given in Baia-Mare, Cluj, Gherla, Oradea, Romania. Total cost: 5,000 $, provided by Quebecer benefactors (the new cars were worth at the time 1,000 $ each one);
- Books for schools and seminars. Total cost: 10,000 $. Provided or financed by the printing, by Quebecer benefactors;
- Sewing machines, computers, printers, in Oradea and Cluj. Total price: 5,000 $ provided by Quebecer benefactors. The sewing machines received gracefully in Switzerland were used for the needs of students in theology to sew all the bed linen necessary, and gave work to 5 people;
- Impression in Montreal, in Rumanian language, of 8 titles of books, necessary to the evangelization. Total cost of the impression: 6,000 $, provided by Quebecer benefactors;
- Mass intentions for Rumanian and Hungarian priests of 3 dioceses. Approx. 5,000 $ provided by Quebecer parishes; etc
Once again, your gifts can create great joys. An illustrated Gospel for children costs 6 $; the wages of a priest are 42 $ per month, therefore an intention of mass will make it live 2 weeks; a catechism costs 6 $; a car costs 6.000 $ and the priests cannot treat to it. Your gift can make us more effective. Help us to be able to contribute even more to the rebuilding of the life in Faith in these countries dilapidated by the atheistic totalitarianism!
It is now the privileged moment for us, to hold us ready to help, to bring the joy in the hearths and in the ravaged communities of faith, after a so long suffering.
We send our gifts exclusively to the persons in charge for the communities which we know, to the families in suffering and serious shortage, which distribute the gifts. More than one million young people await our gifts and our books. Help us to distribute much of it! And pray for the success of our apostolate, because we need your prayers!
Waiting for your contribution that we hope for generous, please receive our greetings in the Christ and the thanks of the people of God who awaits your gifts. May the Christ be born in your hearts!
Please donate.
Yours, in the service of the Mission
