2008 Report
The members of the St. Augustine DCCW are committed to serving our community with their time, talent and treasure. They take to heart Jesus’s admonition “What you do for the least of my brethren, you do unto Me.”
C One of our biggest functions is the annual luncheon and fashion show to
benefit CAMPS I Am Special, Promise and Care. Thanks to Julie
Rothery, and Fran Gullman for chairing this event. Thanks also to the
Italian-American Club for again donating all the food for our luncheon.
The proceeds will be donated to the St. Augustine Diocesan Disabilities
Ministry at our DCCW Convention.
O Our Lady of Good Counsel, patroness of the National Council of Catholic
Women, pray for us as we attend to the needs of our community.
M We do a variety of programs for the Migrant/Farm Workers in our
area. One affiliation makes lunch daily for the workers in their
community. South Jacksonville Deanery continues to celebrate the
Epiphany with a party in Live Oak. This event includes gifts for the
children, food, clothing, and a dinner to celebrate the Feast of the
Three Kings, which is an important feast in the Hispanic culture.

The sick and feed the hungry.
