Water With Blessings Has Blessed Us, Too
Isn’t it amazing how ideas can blossom
into the wonderful and unexpected?
That’s what’s happened to us with the
Water With Blessings project. Sister Norma
Raupple (standing at center above) learned
of the program from its founder, Sister
Larraine Lauter, an Ursuline Sister from
Kentucky (standing at left), at the North
American Ursuline Convocation last July.
It inspired Sister Norma so
much that in December she
led a team to the U.S.-Mexico
border with filtration systems
for families who have terrible
H20. At $60 apiece, these were
bought with gifts from our
Associates, family, friends and
the team.
250 families now have clean
water, and Sister Norma and
the team shared a strong faith
experience. Four of the young
women (at left) volunteered
with us previously and
continue to be involved, some
as Companions in Mission.
For more on this story and
additional photos, visit our
blog at theursulines.org.
Above, Sister Larraine teaches
“Water Women” how to use
the filtration systems.
