LaboureSociety Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Greetings in Christ Dear phatmass VS'ers! Just wanted to let everyone know that we've begun posting regular updates at the following locations: Facebook: Labouré Society, Group Labouré Society, Fan Page Twitter: labouresociety I know its exciting to see where people are from and where they're entering, so we attempt to include that information.

DevotedtoHim Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Does anybody know if this society only helps people with student loans? What if someone has bills incurred because an injury, or taking care of a parent, or something like that? I know there are a lot of us out here who don't have insurance. One problem can put someone into serious debt and there goes the vocation. I really hope it's not just student loans. Katherine

Katherine [/quote] Hi Katherine. :-) We are open to assisting with other serious needs such as you describe. What we don't do is repay debt incurred from imprudent spending. Thanks for your question! I should add, if someone has had a serious and proven change of habit regarding spending that they previously struggled with e.g. as a young person, that doesn't necessarily preclude them from receiving funds from donors so that they can enter formation for priestly or religious life, but this is a special exception.

My prayers are with you.
