We don't want to build up our hopes just as yet, but at a meeting last week with the Ministry of Education it was suggested that to ease our over-crowding issues at Saint Mary's All-Age (25 grade 9 students in a classroom built for 10 children) we should build a second floor on our existing school. The Ministry will help with the cost of materials and the Church will offer their assistance. Ozzy, in the white shirt on the roof, already measured the area to build four new classrooms.
Of course money is always an issue, especially here in Jamaica. We always appreciate the generous donations made to our Mission through the Franciscan Mission Association (FMA). We can't but help think of that 1945 inspirational movie...
If there is a Mr. Horace Bogardus out there with Holly In His Heart , don't forget us
