The Queenship of Mary Parish in Plainsboro has launched a micro-financing project with the community of La Morena in Guatemala. Ed Klimek of Plainsboro is one of the core missions leaders of this global solidarity project. As part of the mission, the children of Queenship of Mary made about 300 Friendship and Faith rainbow loom bracelets for the children of La Morena during February. They were brought down to Guatemala by the March delegation. While the delegation was there, the children of Cranbury and Plainsboro also wore their Friendship and Faith bracelets to be in solidarity.
While in Guatemala, the pastor of the parish of Santa Cruz, Padre Juan Jose, was inspired by the idea of solidarity and requested 300 more bracelets. Queenship of Mary parishioners of all ages gathered during two open house sessions to make 600 bracelets — 300 bracelets for the parish of Santa Cruz and 300 more to be distributed at the church during the same weekend of the retreat.
