Caribbean Mission Relief

Submitted by Patti Lanier
Parish Administrator
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church

St. Peter’s Church has a relationship with the Diocese of the North East Caribbean and Aruba that dates back to 1985.  We have taken 16 trips to the Islands to help with rebuilding over these 30 years.  Because of this long term relationship, the Caribbean Mission Team is putting together relief supplies following the devastation from Hurricanes Irma and Maria.  We have secured a shipping container that we will fill with relief supplies.  The supplies will be shipped to Anguilla where the Bishop of that Diocese lives.  He and his people will distribute the supplies to help in the relief effort.

Monetary donations of cash or check may be brought to the church office. Please include “Caribbean Mission Relief” on the memo line of your check.  You may also make monetary donations through the St. Peter’s website.  Select the “Give Online Now” button on the homepage and follow the prompts.  Select “Plate Offering” as the fund and include “Caribbean Mission Relief” in the memo.
