Little Brothers & Sisters of Sacrifice

February 20, 2010 By The Diocese of San Joaquin

We are a monastic order of men and women intercessors. The priority of our prayers is in the realm of Spiritual Warfare. Paul, in his letters to the Ephesians and Corinthians, teaches us about this spiritual warfare:

“For we are not contending against flesh and blood but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly place” (Eph. 6:12)

“For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).

We are a Spirit- filled order of nuns and friars living in the world where God has planted us with a ministry of standing in the gap for people and the issues of this world.

Giving Gifts that Bring Blessings to Laos

Do you need a good idea for a gift for those not-so easy-to buy-for people on your Christmas list? Consider making donations to Lao Mission Projects in their honor. Consider giving similar gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day. The sky is the limit! Upon receipt of your donations, special cards will be sent informing the recipient of your thoughtful gift. Your donation will be used for upgrading supplies at the English Language and Computer Training Center in Vientiane, purchasing equipment for Jacob’s Farm, the new meat and dairy farm in Ko Kieng, giving people in Laos who have never heard the name of Jesus their first opportunity to hear His good news. To give gifts in this manner, make your check payable to “Diocese of San Joaquin”. On the memo line write “Lao Mission Project”. Fill out the form below, and mail the form and the check to the address listed above
