2018 Spring Project Update
Thank you for your support of our Parish team’s trip to Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center the week of April 22nd. There were five men from our parish on this trip. Our project for this trip was to replace about 35 feet of ramp (their front porch) and a 16 foot deck. Both had exceeded their useful life. We were also asked to provide a 20 foot ramp from the new deck to a driveway.
You can read about the details of the project and see before and after pictures here Upcoming Mission Trip: October 2017
We have two jobs assigned to our group for the week of October 15th. Our first job is to help an elderly couple and their adult grandson whose house had burned down. A trailer has been donated to them, but it needs a lot of work. A local church is coordinating repairs on the trailer and has asked the Father Beiting Mission Center to help with the repairs. We have been asked to provide the skirting around the trailer and will help out with whatever else is needed.
Our second job will be to help a 77 year old woman who is caring for her 49 year old son who has Down syndrome and Fahr's disease. He was told he would be paralyzed in the near future. Our project will be to build a ramp and possibly a new deck. We are often asked to complete other jobs that are on the Mission Center’s work list or to provide whatever else is needed at the assigned locations. We do not have a budget for these two jobs yet, but we will keep you posted as our assignments are clarified and/or expanded. If you have questions regarding our work at the Mission Center or wish to make a contribution to help cover the costs of this trip please call Larry or Jan Duckart at (717) 367-1546, or send your contribution to: Jan and Larry Duckart, 5455 Ridge Road, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. Please indicate in the memo of your check: FBAMC Thank you in advance for your prayers, encouragement and support. 
A special Thank You to all of our parishioners who helped support our April 23rd trip to Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center. We replaced the flooring in the kitchen and dining room and repaired the flooring in the bedroom and living room of a family who really needed our help. Because of your generosity, we were able to add Vinyl flooring to the Kitchen, Dining Room and entry to their mobile home.
In addition, we were asked to build a deck at the front door of a mobile home for a gentleman who has Multiple Sclerosis. Your support and contributions made this project possible too. AGAIN: THANK YOU for your prayers, support and encouragement. Your Parish team |

April 2017: Our project for the April trip to the Father Beiting Mission Center will be to help an elderly couple who are raising 3 grand children, ages 12, 9 and 3. Both grandparents are disabled, with one of them on oxygen.
We have been asked to replace the subflooring in the kitchen, dining room and a bedroom of their double wide trailer. As usual, we are sure that there will be additional work that needs to be done to make their home more livable. There will be five of us leaving after 7:30 am Mass on April 23rd and will return on the following Friday or Saturday, depending on how the project proceeds.
If you have questions regarding our work at the Mission Center, call Larry or Jan Duckart at 717-367-1546.

THANK YOU for your support of our volunteer’s trip to Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center in Louisa, Kentucky.
Because of your generosity, we were able to help a family complete improvements to their home before the winter weather set in. This building was an addition to an old mobile home. We were able to rebuild much of the foundation, replaced some of the exterior paneling, build soffits on part of the building and extended the roof over one of the doors. The owner had collected six different styles of exterior siding in four different colors. We were able to install siding around the whole house with some added materials from the Mission Center. We also installed skirting around three sides of their home.
We helped the homeowner install insulation in the attic and installed 4 of the 5 doors inside of their home (we had to order the last door, which the homeowner will install). This trip would not have been possible without your encouragement, prayers and financial support. Because of your generosity, this family will have a warm, secure place to live before the winter weather sets in.
