Kateri Medical Clinic

Nigeria, Africa


Since the start, Grace Church has been a mission partner with the Kateri non-profit organization, because of its fine work,

and because of our relationship with Tom Furrer, who came to faith at Grace Church.

Tom served in youth ministry in our parish when Father Hank Folsom was rector.

Later, Tom answered his own call to the ordained ministry. 


Our very own Kathy Bartus joins this team for medical mission trips as she is able.

Kathy is a registered nurse, who puts her skills and compassionate heart to work for the people of Nigera, through the Kateri Clinic.
