We celebrated a new dimension of Partners in Mission called PIA: Partners in Action! PIA is a new program initiated in our Vision of Hope affiliate elementary schools in Southern California funded in part by the Hilton Foundation. The program brings together Sisters and parents with the aim of providing training and support to help them share the Catholic faith more effectively with their children and integrate faith practices into their family life. Parents have expressed great appreciation for this opportunity which will expand to schools in Northern California next year. We gave thanks to Sisters Georgette Coulombe, Jane Rudolph, Laurence Marie Diaz, and Johnellen Turner who created and lead this program.
