In looking at what we need versus what we want, we end up placing material things and money in their proper perspective.

The Caritas Corner A family of seven was in tears as they watched firefighters try to save their home in far South Bexar County. “We lost everything in the house and only have what we had on our back and feet” said the homeowner. “Fortunately, all five children, ages 5 to 17, made it safely out of the house. However, they were unable to get any of their belongings out – belongings like much needed equipment for their youngest son who has cerebral palsy” reported KSAT-12 News. For some reason, the insurance settlement was not sufficient to replace their belongings or get them started on a new home. They are living in a small RV trailer on their property. As a gift of kindness, we delivered – through the Caritas Fund -- two $1,000 gift cards to help ease the family’s burden and help replace their personal necessities. Additionally, we will continue to help the family find a cheaper alternative to the mobile home they are trying to purchase and help get a better resolution on the insurance settlement issue. Despite their loss, the family said “they are grateful to still have each other”.

This Caritas – or “Charity” -- Fund is administered by the San Francescani Society and funded through the second collection normal-ly on the third Sunday of each month. Its purpose is to assist recipients – who through no fault of their own have fallen on hard times and have recognizable “one time” needs to help get back on their feet.

In addition to the once a month second collection, the Caritas Fund accepts individual as well as business donations. Donations can be mailed to: Henry Garcia, Treasurer, San Francescani Society, P.O. Box 782474, San Antonio, TX 78278-2474.

We are continually looking for additional brothers and sisters in need. Referrals can be made to Ron Bucchi, Society President, by leaving a message at the SFdP office at 210-227-0548.Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
