12 Days, 12 Nuns: What Will They Do?

January 6, 2010
Region 9

In December, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration gave $100 a day for 12 days to respond to community needs and show how donations, no matter the size, make a big difference.

The nonprofit organizations selected reflect the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration’s varied ministries, such as peace and justice, serving those less fortunate, ecology, education and the arts, as well as the wide-ranging needs of people in the Greater La Crosse, Wisconsin, area.

More photos, a complete list of the projects, and links to local media coverage can be found at http://www.fspa.org/news/12days12nuns.htm

A video from the project is available for viewing on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTsPSx9RKmo
