Service trip to St. Anne’s Parish, Jamaica
Many of you have heard Fr. Peter McIsaac, pastor of our sister parish, St. Anne’s in Kingston, Jamaica,
speak at St. Ignatius about his parish and its people. Kingston is hours away from the resorts of Negril,
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, and many of its residents, including the parishioners of St. Anne’s, live in
chronic poverty and deprivation.
A group of St. Ignatius parishioners is traveling to St. Anne’s January 20 – January 28 for the second
annual St. Ignatius service and faith-sharing trip to St. Anne’s.
How You Can Help
Father Peter has told us that St. Anne’s School is in need of school supplies and children’s books. Each
of us going on the trip will bring an extra suitcase to carry donated items.
Children’s and teen’s books
Books may be new or gently used.
School supplies

Pencils, pencil sharpeners, composition
