Mission Appeal Speaker:
Carol McBrady is coming to STB
Carol McBrady, founder of Action for Children Zambia (AFCZ), and Maria Mwewa, one of the many children whose lives have been transformed, will share their story during all masses on the weekend of May 3rd - 4th, 2025. Carol is a lay Catholic Missionary from within the archdiocese of St. Paul, Minneapolis.
Inspired by a visit to Zambia in 2005, Carol was moved by the heartbreaking reality of children living and dying on the streets. Determined to make a difference, she established AFCZ, a non-profit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and reintegrating street children into family life. Since its founding, Carol and AFCZ have provided a safe home—whether temporary or permanent—for thousands of vulnerable children, offering them hope, stability, and a chance for a brighter future.
