The 2006 Work Camp was a celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the events surrounding Medjugorje.
The established Community of Sr. Krispina, once located
in Mother's Village in Medjugorje, was without a home!
The Community of Sr. Krispina serves abandoned mothers
and their children. The community was established by the
late Fr. Slavko Barbaric.
From the outset, Sr. Bonifacia (a Franciscan nun) worked
alongside Fr. Slavko taking responsibility for the women
who arrived, seeking help. The Community of Mother Krispina
acts as a temporary home for abused, abandoned, and pregnant
women. After birth, the majority of women accept their
offspring and they begin learning the role of motherhood.
Unfortunately, there are cases where the mother abandons
the child. In this situation, adoption is arranged.
St. David's agreed to assist with funding this worthy
building endeavor, and invited their friends to help
initiate this project with their prayers and labor. |
