Sue Gaubatz Building Dedicated (By Tom Gaubatz)
I had first heard about Hilary's vision for helping the
orphaned children of Uganda soon after he became affiliated with the parish in 2003. I had attended the planning meetings for several months and had followed the process of the formation of COVE. Sue and I sponsored a child and had gone to fund raisers to support COVE, and now I was going to be able to witness first hand what had been accomplished in Uganda.
A little over two years ago, arrangements were made which would lead to the construction of a new school building at the St. Jerome COVE Center, in Uganda. As was mentioned in recent bulletin articles, that building was dedicated this past August in honor of Sue's memory. Full Speech
