Our parish works with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in a microfinance program through which people learn how to make small loans. These loans enable borrowers to start businesses that support them and their families. By June 2018, St. John the Baptist Parish had contributed more than $9,300 towards enabling the growth of our project.
