Hearts of Safe Harbor For a number of years now parishioners from St. Paul’s have helped to start, finance, and prayerfully support this cause in Uganda, Africa. Originally, it was an effort to help educate, protect, and support Ugandan children, who had been kidnapped or orphaned because of the civil war in Uganda. Many of these children were forced to fight with rebel armies against the government. In cooperation with the archbishop of Gulu, Uganda, St. Paul’s was able to initiate and continues to support to this day an effort to build a safe house for these children who are rescued and able to escape the hands of their captors. Recently, the original plan has been changed to sponsor an educational facility that would serve the children of this area, in that, some of the war effort has ceased and children are no longer being kidnapped. The parish continues to financially, and prayerfully support this cause. Parishioners from St. Paul’s have traveled twice to Gulu. Volunteers to help in this regard are always welcome. |
