Thanks to your generosity, the Change for Change campaign has created a lasting impact at the Casa Santa Ana home in the Dominican Republic. The funds collected during Lent support over 530 children and the surrounding community.
This Lent, please consider making a meaningful difference in the lives of these children by collecting change and returning your container the weekend of March 28-29th. If you prefer, checks may be made payable to St. Pius X Church with “DR Orphanage” in the memo. You can also contribute online through the QR code below.
