Father Jason and Brother Knights,

Santa Maria Council #6065, at St. Mark the Evangelist in Plano and the Dallas Diocese, held a very successful 8th Annual Wheelchair Sunday over the past two weekends. $58,299 ($14,339 in loose cash) was collected at the 15 Masses, for 388 wheelchairs with additional online and mailed donations. That already exceeds the $58,691 for 391 wheelchairs raised last fraternal year,
$42,000 of their funds will be used to provide a large container of 280 wheelchairs for the Puebla CRIT Center in Mexico. The rest will be used for another container to South America (location TBD).

Thank you so much to Fr. Jason Cargo, for his awesome support by allowing the Knights to read a pulpit talk and show a video at all the Masses the first weekend. Thanks also to the numerous Brother Knights that helped to collect funds and read the pulpit talks, especially Brother Oscar Sanchez who was there helping at all the Masses both weekends. And many thanks to the St. Mark parishioners for their extreme kindness and generosity in providing all these life changing wheelchairs.

God bless all of you.

Sincerely,
Ricardo Guzman
