In Memory of Mary Miniaci Requested by

Theresa Martone &Family

“Mary has been made Queen of heaven and earth by God, exalted above all the choirs of

angels and all the saints. She is to be called Queen not only because of her divine motherhood, but

also because she, by the will of God, had an outstanding part in the work of our eternal

salvation” She was given the power by her Son “of bestowing upon us the fruits of the

redemption.”

THANK YOU! GUGGISTBERG JUVENILE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Letter of Appreciation to Msgr. John

We are very grateful to you and all your parishioners for your immense help and financial support to our school. Currently the school has a population of about 310 pupils and most of

them are from the surrounding villages of Sunyani. 25 are under sponsorship by the school due to poor financial backgrounds.

The school is gradually growing but parents cannot afford both school and transportation fees. Owning to this fact, the school is in debt and this has affected the smooth running of the

school. This support has come at a time that the school is in dire need. We will forever be grateful to St. Augustine’s Parish. May the peace of Christ be with you all!
