Reminder ~ Colombia Mission ~ Happy Hearts

by Carol Ferrari-Rogers on February 17, 2022

Just a reminder to let you know that Lucia Mejia will soon be leaving for Colombia.  She recently sent out a letter explaining her mission and asked for your support.  Many of you may know, she has been assisting Colombia for many years by sending clothes, shoes, school supplies, and backpacks for the children.

She travels every year with her own resources to cover the cost of the ticket and the activities that she does for each group of children.  

This year she hopes to assist 100 children.  She is leaving at the end of February and is asking for your financial support to help with the purchase of backpacks, clothing, etc.  Without your collaboration, it would not be possible.

Donations should be made before Feb. 20th by check, cash, or Zelle.    Please be sure to note that the funds are to be directed toward the Colombian Mission. 

THANK YOU!

About the Author
Carol Ferrari-Rogers

My husband, Steve, and I moved to Coral Springs from California at the end of August 2017 just before Hurricane Irma made her debut.  Needless to say, it was a stressful learning experience, not only moving 3,000 miles but preparing for a powerful hurricane.  Thankfully, Irma didn’t cause as much damage as expected and we only experienced minor issues.

I earned my B.S. degree from Monmouth University and worked many years in the corporate environment as a Compliance Officer with Prudential and an Operations executive with Ringler Associates.  With Ringler, I oversaw all operational functions of the company including AP, AR, Payroll, and Human Resources. 

In my spare time, I find myself sewing or quilting.  I started my quilting business, Coziness Quilts (cozinessquilts.com) in 2016 and I enjoy teaching quilting and sewing classes.

I started working as the Parish Administrator at St. M&M in mid-October 2020; in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.  I am committed to meeting new challenges and supporting St. M & M’s core values, mission statement, vision, and the many ministries in the congregation.
