2010 has come and gone by so quickly. One last blog to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year for 2011. 2010 has been a good year once again and of course all of our good benefactors have helped to make this possible - THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU! Mother of Perpetual Help Center and Ban Mae Maria would not be able to continue all of the services which are extended to so many needy people here in the Province of Nong Bua Lamphu.

In the New Year we will continue to care for the aids patients who come for care at our hospice. More new patients will be sent to us I am sure. It is rewarding to see how many of them become well once again after many months of good food and loving care - many are able to return home, others stay on and are now helping to look after new patients and have become members of our staff.

Ban Mae Maria is slowly accepting new teenagers, both from Mother of Teresa children's home and others who come from other homes and institutions. Once Ban Mae Maria reaches its capacity there will be 24 young teenage men and women. All are attending the local schools and doing well. Once they complete high school some of them will no doubt continue on with college and higher education , others attend local vocational schools to learn different trades.

Recently our youth along with youth from St. Michael's parish visited a home for elderly men and women and the Capuchin Cloistered Sisters in Udon Thani and sang Christsmas carols to them. At the Church there will be many activities in connection with the Christmas Eve mass. The youth love to perform so they will have a Christmas play before the mass for all to enjoy - after mass all will participate in a meal with good food brought by all to share.
