REV. GREG SCHMITT, C.Ss.R.
“St Alphonsus Liguori founded the Redemptorists specifically to preach to people who were poor, neglected, and living on the margins. As a Re- demptorist, I see Unbound as an extension of my Redemptorist calling. The more we stand with others at the margins, the more quickly the mar- gins will disappear.”
Father Greg Schmitt, a Redemptorist and native of Milwaukee, has served as pastor in Kansas City, Seattle, and New Orleans, worked in retreat houses in Fargo, North Dakota, and Oakland, California and preached parish missions in Chicago, Brazil and Nigeria. His work has not only included assisting with clothing and food banks but also administering funds to people in need after Hurricane Katrina. Father Schmitt enjoys golf, walking, and woodworking.
Next weekend, please welcome Rev. Greg Schmitt C.Ss.R. who will be with us to celebrate Masses and tell us about the work of Unbound, a lay Catholic sponsorship ministry that helps children and elderly in 19 developing countries. To learn more, call (800) 875-6564 or visit Unbound online at www.unbound.org. or https://www.unbound.org/MyOutreach/FatherGreg.
Unbound partners with families living in poverty, empowering them to become self-sufficient and fulfill their desired potential.
When you sponsor a child, young adult or elder through Unbound, you invest in personalized bene- fits that support goals chosen by the sponsored individual and their family.
And with 92.6 percent of Unbound’s expenses going toward program support, you can rest assured your contributions are working hard to meet the needs of your sponsored friend.
