Eudist Servants Key Events
Dear Supporters of the Eudist Servantss,
Our Eudist Servants of the 11th Hour would like to give you a sample of impactful activities for this year. Please keep us in prayer as we carry out Mother Antonia’s mission to help prisoners and the poor. Our Sisters and Associates meet the daily needs of those we serve, and many things come up very quickly, that are not planned. Our Servants go to the prisons every day to bring supplies like toiletries, medications, and other necessities that are not provided. We are very much a need- meeting ministry. Here is an illustration of where your support goes.
- Each January a Mass is held Honoring All Police in Tijuana, with key clergy in attendance. Annually in January we celebrate Prison Guards and Administrators Appreciation Day. Donuts and small gifts are provided.
- In February, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) produced a documentary featuring the Eudist Servants of the 11th Hour in Podcast, Magazine and soon to be released Video formats. Producer and Presenter Linda Pressley and team spent several days interviewing our Sisters, touring La Mesa Penitentiary in Tijuana, and talking to current and former inmates. They also visited Las Memorias AIDS Clinic founded by a former Tijuana inmate with the help of Mother Antonia. This documentary is a testament to Mother Antonia’s present-day mission being carried out by our Servants.
