Kanye offers a wide scope for ministry. A convent is available to the congtqp tion, out of which the sisters may begin ministry in areas such as local schools and hospitals, a nearby women's prison, with previously established women's groups, and within the local parish.

According to SCN President Maria Vincent Brocato, the next step for the congregation will be inviting those SCNs who feel God's call to ministry in Africa to volunteer for this mission. The congregation

volunteers for the project AFRIO and begin the ministry by Botswana Fall 2000.

"We feel privileged to be able to expand SCN ministry to yet another part of the world to help those who are so vely much in

need, especially women and children and those whose lies have been impacted by the deadly AIM virus," said SCN President Maria Brocato.

"A defining moment for us was when we sat down to talk with the Bishop about the congregation.

It occurred to

me at that time that SCNs have experienced so many blessings - through Gods grace, education, travel and other resources. It seemed

L1

this was a call to share our blessings," she said, "not because we've answered all the needs in the countries where we are pres ently ministerins but because as the new millennium dawns, this seemed the moment to respond to the call to Africa."

A DlFFERENJ KlND OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING: St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Fort Thomas, Ky. offered holiday shoppers something a little different from crowded malls and online ordering this season the chance to make a difference in the lives of others. The parish sponsored its third annual "Alternative Christmas Fair, " at which parishionen could visit booths of various non-profit organizationr and make a gift in someone's name rather than one of the material nature. The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth were one of 11 charities donors could select forgifts. Here, (from left to right) SCNs Patricia Kelley and Cassilda Castell of the Office of Congregational Advancement are pictured with fair volunteer Mary Kay Glase1:
