*Can you help this child?*
There is an ongoing program called
*Footprints*
within St. John’s – Holy Angels parish designed to help children needing
companionship and support with an emphasis on Christian values. This program
operates in conjunction with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of DE, and is designed
to enable each young boy and girl reach his or her maximum potential.
There are /_seventy_/
boys and /_six_/
girls in New Castle County looking for companionship, mentoring, adult
friendship to help them will grow in confidence and learn to make wise
decisions in their life choices. They will have the chance to be someone
special to a loving adult. We call our volunteers ‘Buddies’; BB/BS of DE
calls them Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Think in terms of friendship, as
that is what the relationship will become.
We need one hour per week to fill this need, doing what you like to do,
except you will be involving your particular child. We can have either a man
or a couple for the boys. Age is no limit to being a ‘Buddy’ once you have
achieved adulthood. Being involved in the program should definitely be an
enriching experience for our ‘Buddies’. Quoting Pope John Paul II, “Much to
be
envied are those who can give their lives for something greater than
themselves in loving service to others.”
If you need more information, please call Cathi Del Vecchio of Big
Brothers/Big Sisters at 302-998-3577, or the Parish Office at 731-2200, or
Leonard Quinn at 302-709-0103 (home) or 302-224-2901 (work).
As a parish community, we want to help these children. Please help us!
