I have recently had several emails from those visiting our website that ask “What goes on behind the scene at Nazareth House?”, “Besides the work in Sierra Leone, what does Nazareth House do?, “What do the Nazareth Houses in the USA do?”
These questions made me realize that we all know what Nazareth House Apostolate does in Sierra Leone. We are giving a hand to our brothers and sisters in that country that are in need. We’re supplying Medical Clinics,

So what is going on “behind the scene” in the hiddeness of Nazareth House? I’ll tell you. We are living our lives, ordinary, everyday lives, finding God in each moment.

It takes funding to support the work so we are raising money for NHA. A few weeks ago, Savannah Butler of Maysville, Kentucky decided to have a Nazareth House Apostolate Fund Raiser during the Coffee Hour at St. Johns the Evangelist (ACC).

Nazareth, it is a journey, a journey taken together.
Nazareth House Apostolate wishes to extend its heartfelt condolences to the family of our dear friend Jerrye Purcell.
May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon her. We now have one more cheering us on from above.
