Fontebella News

Welcome to the newest addition to our Fontebella Babies.

Brion was born on February 8, 2012 weighing in at 8 pounds 3 ounces, 

measuring 19 inches long.   

          Girl Scouts from Troop 884 representing young ladies from Saint Clare, Saint Nicholas, and Corpus Christi.     With March 2012 being the 100 TH anniversary of Girl Scouting all troops where challenged to take on a charitable organization and collect 100 items to support the ministry. The young ladies from Troop 884 selected Fontebella.  They brought our home half of the items in December when they toured our home and had the opportunity to meet our mothers and there babies, and they returned again this week to complete there project.  They visited with our newest baby just seven days old.  A treat for our guests and the baby.

Thank you ladies and we look forward to you joining us for our Run/Walk and Yard Sales.

Take one weekend and the workings of the magnificent men from
Shiloh United Methodist Church and Fontebellas Farmhouse became
visible.  Sitting vacant for two years, the bushes and weeds had over
taken  our wonderful home, but thanks to the wonderful sharing of
there time and manpower we can be see from the street once again. 
The before and after photos are a sight to believe.  Many thanks and
blessings to this wonderful group of men.

The wonderful group of men who make up the St. Clare Home building Ministry have swooped in to rescue our rear deck. Time and the elements had simply taken their toll and the deck was very near to falling down.

This great team worked to transform the structure into a thing of beauty and we are so grateful for the effort. Thank you St Clare!

To better serve, inform and educate, Fontebella Maternity Shelter has launched a new website. Please browse through our new site and contact us with any questions, comments or suggestions.  We would love to hear from you.

A special thanks to Visual Lure web design for such a great new website.

The Fontebella Family remains excited about all the good things happening with the Ministry in this year of 2011.

We continue to wish for all of you best wishes and prosperity; and we continue to ask for your prayerful support for this Ministry and all who pass through it! Remember: God loves each of us unconditionally at all stages of our life – from conception through natural death – it is He who will continue to bless you and continue to shine down His blessings upon you and your family through His always-present spirit!

Please pray for Fontebella and all who toil away in the Ministry as we journey through 2011 with heads held high and a determination worthy of the young women we work hard with every day to ensure that they, like you and I, feel God’s unconditional love as well!
