Walk Out of Poverty

Will You Walk With Us?
Every year Concern America, a non-profit organization, holds a five-mile "Walk Out of Poverty"
March 31, 2012, Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Fountain Valley, starting at 7:30 a.m.

The walk has two major goals:

  • To accompany those who are materially poor as they walk out of poverty by raising funds to help theircommunities have access to necessary resources.
  • To demonstrate to our local communities that we take seriously the challenge to end poverty in our world.

Concern America is an international development and refugee aid organization that provides long-term, community-based development and support to economically impoverished communities throughout the world.  In fifteen countries on three continents, it is making a measurable difference in the lives of more than a million people in over a thousand communities through projects that:

  • Reduce the number of life-threatening diseases
  • Improve the supply of potable water
  • Provide appropriate sanitation systems
  • Provide local and lasting employment
  • Provide public health systems

Please join the Sts. Simon & Jude Walk Team along with Fr. Dan and Fr. Christian as a walker, fundraiser, sponsor, or “in spirit” support.  Stop by the hospitality table after Masses on the weekends during Lent or contact Tom Hohman at (714) 745-3788, tomgateway@aol.com or Kathy Esfahani at (714) 932-1174, kmesfahani@att.net.
