Thank you!
On behalf of everyone on the St Ignatius ARRUPE team, we wish to express our deep gratitude to our
fellow parishioners for the generous donations to our refugee assistance ministry.
Your kindness is making it possible for us to provide basic household goods to arriving refugee families
in the months to come. Thank you for responding so compassionately to those who have suffered so much
and who are working to build new lives in Massachusetts.
