Grief is an emotional response when we lose someone or something we love.
The people of Zumalai, Timor-Leste, are struggling with the loss of homes, the few cherished possessions they had, their farms and their livelihoods as a result of recent floods. Your support has been vital in helping the Carmelites provide food, cooking utensils, seeds and household goods to those affected.
“Where disaster occurs or a need is identified, our Carmelite family springs into action with generosity. Your support is giving families food to eat, supplies to affected communities to rebuild houses and infrastructure, and more children the chance to pursue an education,” says Fr Bruce Clark (Prior Provincial) in the latest issue of Carmel Contact.
