St. Catherine Laboure's 'astounding' response provides wells in Kenya

St. Catherine Laboure Parish's support for the Clean Water Project for Kenya has far exceeded expectations, raising $100,000 -- double what was needed for two deep-water wells.

Vincentian Father James Cormack, pastor of the parish, said he was not surprised with his parishioners' generosity, but "the response was absolutely astounding. ... Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would manage that amount of generosity. It's a testimonial to the goodness of the people and their desire to see the Church grow in Africa."
