For All Occasions
From experience we know that an Enrollment is a very acceptable and tasteful way to show your love, affection or good wishes on such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Mothers' and Fathers' Day or to show concern in time of illness. Its widest use has been as a fruitful way of expressing sympathy on the occasion of death.

Be Prepared
We would be happy to send you one of the Perpetual Mass Association Enrollments to have on hand when the occasion calls for it. It will save you steps on a hot day or a wet evening. Just write to one of the addresses below and it will be sent to you immediately with full instructions on how to use it. We will send you - with the same mailing - a prepaid return envelope and a card on which you let us know the name of the person you wish to have enrolled.

Your Donation

A minimum donation of $10.00 is requested for each person enrolled. We do not wish to increase this requested minimum donation because we know that many of our faithful benefactors are poor and living on fixed incomes.

As you are well aware, however, everything has gone up in price. Inflation is rampant. What we ask, therefore, is that if you find it within your means to increase the amount of your donation, we would be most grateful. Your donation helps us continue to send sufficient funds to our missionaries in Africa for the support of the poor people there, which it is our privilege to serve.
