Thanks for all the help people , it's needed.
I don't care how much or where you buy it from it will all help the kids and the people who work so hard to help them all.
Now i have to find some belts....lol
See ya on the beach most days or The Sea Star any Saturday, Canoe on Thursday , Drifters on Friday...lol you get the idea.
We won't be hard to find. Bless you all.
This time I am buying a dozen reading glasses that I can get for only $3 each. That's what I wear.
A great idea Fred Stripe! So many in Jamaica NEED reading glasses and don't even know it! I've found them at the beauty supply store near Burger King, I believe I paid 600 JMD for a pair.Originally Posted by Fred Stripe

I managed to get 72 youth toothbrushes, I will drop them off between Mar 21-26.
Thank you for this post Rasta stan. It's on my to do list. I'll be coming in on the 5th-12th. Maybe I'll get a chance to meet you at the seastar on sat. ( luciano is on my list to!) I'm excited. my first visit to JA.
Hey Guy Raudenbush, I look forward to seeing you in Negril. I hope you can make it to the Luciano show at the Sea Star on the 5th. Call them for the Free Shuttle and tell them your with my group for a seat.
First, a profound thanks to all of you who support Mary Gate of Heaven and the programs at St. Anthony's kitchen. It means a lot to us. More importantly it means a lot to the people we serve. Without you there is no St. Anthony's Kitchen or Get Kids to School Program. Thanks a million!
The only big Easter Event around here that I know is the arrival of the Eater Bunny after the 10:00 a.m. Easter Mass. He always brings bags of goodies for the kids. I don't know what other "events" might be going on at local hotels/resorts. No Egg Roll in the Community Centre parking lot!
You can indeed buy school supplies and other things here in Jamaica. You will not beat the deals you can get a the Dollar Store and such places. We do pay GCT--that's a 16.5% sales tax. Mary Gate of Heaven and St. Anthony's Kitchen dump a ton of money into the local economy. Buy things in Canada/USA o carry or buy it here...no problem mon!
The church is Mary Gate of Heaven, not St. Anthony's and is across from Coco La Palm. Drop stuff off at the church or the Kitchen.
If you send funds to our Franciscan headquarters (see directions above in Cincinnati (the best way to donate for Americans -- you get a tax deductible gift) just indicate the funds are for Fr. Jim in Jamaica or for St. Anthony's Kitchen or for Get Kids to School. I know the office there as I directed it for 17 years before coming here. 100% of your gift will be wired into our account absolutely.
Canadian donors, the address in this thread above and in past notices, has been changed as the Mission Office of the Franciscans in Western Canada has moved. Send donations (they are tax deductible too) to

Rasta Stan, a big up! A guy was at the front gate Monday morning when I headed to the bank. You told him about us. He pressed a USD$100 bill in my hand for GKTS! Sweet! Going to the bank on Monday morning is generally a miserable experience. I went with a smile this week!
God bless each and everyone of you! --Fadder Jim
Great I will. I will def. be there I already called them and got two tickets.
Thanks Fadder Jim for the address update - I've saved it for our next contribution
