12 days. 12 nuns. $1200. What did they do?

 

The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration gave $100 a day for 12 days to respond to community needs and show how donations, no matter the size, make a big difference.

The nonprofit organizations selected reflect the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration’s varied ministries, such as peace and justice, serving those less fortunate, ecology, education and the arts, as well as the wide-ranging needs of people in the Greater La Crosse area.

Read about the donations in the La Crosse Tribune articles (links below). It was a "very merry mission!"
