WORKING WONDERS FOR PEOPLE
WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
12 years ago, Michael walked into the Good Shepherd Centre, a
ShareLife recipient – homeless, penniless, friendless. He was only
25 but had already wrecked a promising life with hard drinking
and drug use. Availing of the Centre’s Drug and Alcohol Recovery
Enrichment program, Michael finally managed to turn his life
around and start afresh - those who knew him then and now are
just astounded at the change. ShareLife funded agencies assisted
over 20,000 people with special needs last year, affirming their
value to our society.
Today is the 2nd ShareLife Collection.
Your support will sustain the work of our ShareLife agencies.
Please give generously. You can work WONDERS!

an excellent book from Matthew Kelly, called

gift for both someone who has been away from the
Church and those who want to deepen their faith.
