Living Waters Project
During the Lent and Easter seasons from 2012 through 2021, our parish has raised over $227,000 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 38 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?
For a more in-depth interview, listen to Archbishop Listecki’s discuss the project with Sue on his radio show, Living Our Faith.
