Gracias, St. Helen's Parish!

¡Muchísimas gracias! Many thanks to you and to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for your help on behalf of our mission here in Jinotega, Nicaragua.

As a daughter of the parish (Sr. Dolores speaking!), I have a great love for the people of St. Helen’s -

it is where I attended school from 5th to 8th grade…

where I participated in youth group and sports (including cheerleading!)…

where I attended Mass with my family…

where I served as a lector and eucharistic minister…

where I tried, one sad weekday morning, to play the organ for mass! (God bless Fr. O’Boyle for not shouting out, “Enough, Dolly!”)...

where I adored Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Sundays at 7 a.m.…

where I heard the call to religious life…

And so I thank you for supporting the mission I am now a part of, and for helping the poor, the women and children, the youth, the faithful here in Jinotega.


Dios es bueno… ¡todo el tiempo!

God is good… all the time!

-Sr. Dolores Mikula, SND
