January 2012 

Dear Friends, 

As the New Year begins and I reflect back on 2011, my thoughts and prayers of gratitude are extended for each one, for your generosity to the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. 

Your donations helped us to complete the capital project we had undertaken in 2011 at our convent in North Providence, Rhode Island where many of our elderly sisters reside.  The installation of the sprinkler system has been completed and we have recently passed state and local inspection.

The team who worked on this project was not only professional but also attentive to the needs of our sisters, as well as our dedicated staff who went about their daily work in the midst of constant change around them. 

It is good to know that with the installation of the sprinkler system, our sisters who so generously have given of themselves to serve God and His people will be better protected because this project is completed. 

Your gift and kindness to the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary helped to make our dream a reality.  We know that we could not have completed this project without your help.  Your prayers as well as your donations have been a great support to us.  

Throughout the year as our sisters gather in prayer you, our friends and benefactors, will be remembered for all the good you have done for us.  Any donation or gift you are able to send us is appreciated and we also ask you to consider remembering the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in your will.  

The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary continue their service to God’s people here in the United States as well as countries overseas.  The seeds of love that are planted will continue to grow throughout the world in new and wonderful ways.

May your year be filled with the peace and hope of God’s presence in your lives and all those you love.  

Thank you and may God Bless you.
