Parishes of the Archdiocese of Atlanta typically support Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer Home in October each year through their famous raffle and auction/luncheon. This year the raffle and luncheon have been cancelled. The Home, run by the Hawthorne Dominican Sisters, still welcomes patients and gives a loving and understanding atmosphere for many suffering from cancer who have no resources for nursing care. From their website www.olphhome.com, “In the words of Mother Alphonsa: We must make our guests as comfortable and happy as if their own people had kept them and put them into the very best bedroom. We must love them.”
