Unbound presentation Sunday March 6 - St Boniface

Unbound, the largest Catholic sponsorship organization in the US, is coming again to St Boniface for each of the Sunday masses on March 6. Unbound partners with families living in poverty, empowering them to become self-sufficient and fulfill their desired potential. Fr Mark will invite parishioners to consider becoming a sponsor of a child, young adult or elder through Unbound. Those who choose to sponsor will have the privilege to invest in personalized benefits that support the goals chosen by the sponsored individual and family. 92.6 percent of Unbounds expenses go to program support. March 6 was chosen to coincide with Fr. Mark's 65th birthday.
