Prayer Cards
Partners who contribute to the ongoing maintenance of our first project
Funding for the ongoing maintenance of the Foundations’s projects comes from donations and purchases of prayer cards depicting the sculpture entitled “Virgin breastfeeding the Infant Jesus – Homage to Motherhood.”
Over a period of five years, the Founder and Emeritus President of our organization, Jeannine Lafrenière, conceived and executed a project for the benefit of young people. The outcome was the original sculpture above and prayer cards depicting this work of art.
We are thankful for the organizations that support these projects:
