CND STAMP WORKS PROJECT: CANCELLED POSTAGE STAMPS, both domestic and foreign, are a source of income for CND ministries in Central America and Cameroon, Africa. Stamps are sent to the CND Motherhouse in Montreal and from there are submitted for a cash allowance. With Christmas coming, and probably more mail arriving than at any other time of the year, we have an opportunity to help those in need around the world. If you wish to participate in this ministry, please trim each stamp leaving at least a ¼ inch border. Church construction makes it harder to submit your stamps but if you keep them in a safe place, Sr. Paula and Sr. Marie can accept them once we are back in our church and you will still be a part of this important program. Last year a sum of $300 was raised through the STAMP WORKS PROJECT in North America. Thank you in advance for your participation in this effort.
