#GIVINGTUESDAY
This is the fourth year the Guardians of the Visitation have participated in #givingtuesday as a means of spreading awareness of the works and needs of the SSV Missions in Borongan PH and Ol Moran, Kenya. To follow Pope Francis' theme for World Mission Sunday we share Sr. Rubi Arellano's letter of appeal from recent MCP visit to the US so all may understand the current concerns and hopes for 2023.
SSV MISSION OL MORAN,KENYA
celebrates twenty years of service to the parish of St. Marks Catholic Church, Ol Moran, Kenya. MAGNIFICAT!! The SSV Sisters care for and serve the children and young adults in their mission home, Magnificat House, visit the sick in their homes, especially giving care to those in remote areas, providing food and support to help families. The SSV Mission also operates a free Catholic Dispensary to provide medical aid and medicines to those who cannot pay for such services.

American missioners, wishing to offer assistance to the Sisters Servants of the Visitation in their work with the poorest of the poor in Borongan, Eastern Samar, Philippines, established a new branch organization in the United States on February 21, 2019. The Sisters Servants of the Visitation extend love, care, healthcare, and educational services to poor children in their care facility, Ain Karim Children's Home, and to the impoverished families in the surrounding communities.
