The Council of Catholic Women at Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Alcoa recently installed a Blessing Box on the church grounds. Father Adam Royal, spiritual adviser and parochial vicar at Our Lady of Fatima, blessed the box before the September general meeting.
Funding for the Blessing Box was made possible by the Pope Francis Charitable Trust Fund of the Diocese of Knoxville and a donation from the Smoky Mountain Deanery CCW. The Trust Fund provides matching grants to parishes to foster local parish-based charitable works.
Pictured are Nancy Blachowski, who wrote the grant, Father Royal, and Bill Christensen, who donated his time, talent, and material.
