St. Mary’s—Making a difference in the world through KIVA (6/24/2022)
The following is a report from Kenya about one of the loans St. Mary’s made with KIVA funds:
Dear lenders,
We would like to express our appreciation for your generosity in support of the
Juhudi Kilimo Team and the smallholder farmers of Kenya. Your personal commitment has been
incredibly helpful and allowed us to reach our goal of transforming lives. I am excited to report
that Mercy has successfully repaid the loan to pay school fees for her child to enable her child to
gain more skills for a more successful future, as schools open after the covid-19 lockdown.
Again, thank you! It is great to know that we have friends from all over the world who support
our farmers.
Sincerely,
The Juhudi Kilimo Team

- Masks covering the nose and mouth are still required indoors.
- 6’ physical (also known as “social”) distancing will not continue.
- Lay Leader or Officiant will continue to read important announcements from lectern, including those from the Weekly Email, from the basket at the back of sanctuary and from the chat. Individual parishioners go to floor mic to request prayers. Anti-bacterial wipes will be available to wipe the mic for those who wish to do so.

- Communion will take place at the center aisle, either standing or kneeling.
- Small processions are back.
- Use Acolytes again (with parental permission)
- Singing with masks in place!

- RED • dot – maintain social distance (peace sign, air hug)
