“I give them a mission in the world.”
Saint Rita Goat, Sheep and Bee Club provides
assistance to
refugee families in Bosnia. Goats given
to families create a much needed source of income,
milk and cheese.
As goats multiply they become
flocks and can be traded for food or other material
needs and necessities.
The donation for a goat is $100.00 a sheep
for $200.00. Sheep were added because sheep
are more suitable to grassy terrain at the base of the
mountains in Bosnia. Please join us! Name your
goat, sheep or batch of bees. Since bees are
easier to handle the elderly are use them to earn an
income. Bee costs are variable. Any donation is
gratefully accepted. The generosity and thought
fullness of the family of Saint Rita have brought smiles
to the faces of families who before had no hope.Write a check to “BOSNIA RELIEF” Send to;
St. Rita Catholic Church,
