Living Waters Project

Transforming lives...
Picture
...one well at a time.
Picture
During the Lent and Easter seasons since 2012, our parish has raised over $200,000 in our Living Waters Campaign to support the building of wells through the Safe Water for Life and Dignity project started by former students of Jordan College, a Salvatorian College and Seminary in Morogoro, Tanzania. As a result, there are now over 50 wells in rural Tanzania that have been built providing villagers access to clean water.

How Did the Living Waters Project Begin & What Does it Involve?


​To learn more about the Living Waters project, take a few moments to read the articles below published by the Catholic Herald.  In them, Sue Heartel, who leads the project, explains how it all began, what life is like in rural Tanzania and how the wells are positively impacting the lives of thousands of villagers.
