LOVE CONTINUES TO GROW
Love Repeated continues to grow, and serves the hungry and homeless — particulary the orphaned — providing food, clothing, shelter, education and medical assistance in the Rulenge-Ngara Diocese.
“Father Taabu served for 10 years in the diocese of Peoria and I am proud to continue his legacy of loving our neighbors,” said Davis.
The students of Carroll Catholic School in Lincoln partnered with St. Thomas School in Tanzania to raise funds to bring electricity and new concrete flooring to the school. These St. Thomas students showed up in their uniforms to greet Love Repeated visitors even though it was not a school day. Supplied Photo
