2022 Hunger Fund report

In I Am the Way, the Loretto constitutions, we read, “Cooperation with others engaged in creating a more just and peaceful world is crucial to fruitful mission.” Every year the Hunger Fund committee lives out this Loretto mandate in our name and responds to as many requests as is possible. In 2022, these agencies received funds:

• Casa Arcoiris — Rainbow House in Tijuana, Mexico, $3000 requested by Mary Jean Friel

• Freedom Fund of Tucson, Ariz., $2000 requested by Molly Kammien

• Global Village Children’s Project of Massachusetts, $2000 requested by Mary Lou Pierrron

• Southwest Improvement Council in Denver, $1000 requested by Regina Drey

• Jemez Helping Hands of Jemez Springs, N.M., $1200 requested by Karen Knoll

• Salvavision of Tucson, AZ., $3000 requested by Sally Dunn

• Sisters of Loretto of Pakistan, $3000 requested by Nasreen Daniel

The Loretto Community is grateful to the Hunger Fund for the outreach work they are doing. Committee members are: Kathleen Corbett, Liz Deines. Michaela Fleming, Pat Frueh, Barbara Hagan, Pat Joyce, Janet Rabideau and Eileen Custy.

Our lack of response to these tragedies involving our brothers and sisters points to the loss of that sense of responsibility for our fellow men and women upon which all civil society is founded.
