We are amazed and grateful for the new directions where God continues to lead the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth into the millennium. Because of your gifts, we are truly able to live out our mission statement to "be in solidarity with oppressed peoples, especially the economically poor and women" wherever they are, be it around the block or around the globe. We always hold you in our prayers,

Sincerely,

The pelican is the traditional symbol of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. legend tells how this unique bird will feed her young with her blood when no other means of food is available. The pelican then will gbe her life in order to save her little ones. In a similar spidt of love, the SCFls live out life and mission. In honor of this self-sacrificing spirit, donors who give between $ I00 and $249 annually are given membership in the 9cpI Pelican Club. Donors who give between $250 and 8499 annuaUy are Sllver Pelicans. Those who give $500 to $999 annually are Ruby Pelicans. Golden Pelicans give $1,000 to $9,999 annually and Diamond Pelican Club members m those who contribute $10,000 or more annually to SCN Mimions. Our deepest gratitude goes to these special donors: F6ucbAs The Asdsl Poundationof
