Mattoon Deanery CCCW- Springfield, IL

Blake Swensen • August 7, 2023

The pregnancy centers of our deanery were the recipients for this year’s service project.  The ladies from eleven counties and thirty-five parishes raised $2,100.00.  We presented a ceremonial check to Sue Sharon of Choices on August 3, 2023, at St. Mary’s Church in Paris, IL.  We divided this sum of money to Choices, Family Life Center in Effingham, IL and LightHouse in Vandalia, IL.  Each facility received a check for $700.00.  We concluded our meeting with our famous “White Elephant” auction which raised $1,445.00 for the Seminary Fund.
