The facility is named Mpule in honor of Miss Mpule, last year's M i s s Botswana, who went on to be crowned M i s s Universe. 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.

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."

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:
