His Eminence Archbishop BENJAMIN has named the Gobezie Goshu House in Ethiopia as the designated Diocesan Lenten Charity in 2021. Please read the two letters below, one from Diocesan Charities Department Chair Archpriest Lawrence Russell, and one from Gobezie Goshu House representative Olga Howe, to find out more about this amazing charity that is experiencing some very real challenges right now.
Please be sure to give as you can, proportionally and generously, this Lent — may God bless you!
