Father Ken's Vineyard A nonprofit established by Father Ken Deasy's grade school classmates, parishioners, and friends to support his charitable work. Bede classmates, called St.

Father Ken's Vineyard is a nonprofit 501c tax-exempt corporation founded by members of the St. Bede grammar school class of 1968. Donate by sending a check to Father Ken’s Vineyard, PO Box 808, Graeagle, CA 96103 Information is available by emailing Kathleen Wright at [email protected] . Wright is a director, treasurer and legal counsel for the nonprofit. Its federal federal tax-exempt number is 47-2213498. The nonprofit's purpose is to provide a place of support for classmate Father Ken Deasy, whose life work is serving as a parish priest with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The class experienced the spirit of his influence on St. Agatha Catholic Church in Los Angeles during a reunion in its parish hall. Father Ken revived the impoverished parish, reopened a school, founded Camp Good in the Hood and incorporated Gospel music in the Mass. Congregants waited outside the church for coveted seats in its pews. People who were attracted to the Gospel services from outside the parish donated generously. It was a real-life version of "Sister Act." Father Ken ministered to the poor with great empathy during his 10 St. Agatha years and went on to embark on relief missions to the Caribbean and Africa for the Archdiocese. Today, Father Ken helps the needy in the greater Los Angeles area and continues his spiritual and physical relief work internationally. His grade school classmates formed Father Ken's Vineyard to support those efforts and are being joined by his longtime supporters. The nonprofit is headed by University of San Diego-educated attorney Bob Bavasi, who, as he puts it, left his lawyer job when he lost his mind and bought a minor league baseball team. He is a career baseball professional who is passionate about founding the nonprofit. The board's treasurer and legal counsel is Kathleen Wright, another Father Ken classmate and a University of San Francisco law school grad. Kathy has spent a career as an attorney who also worked as a worked as a Gift Planning Officer with the American Red Cross national headquarters. In her law practice, she specializes in estate and philanthropy planning. She has served on six nonprofit boards. The third board member is Dea Perry, a Humboldt State theater graduate. She is part of her family's Aurora Florialis landscape design enterprise on Bainbridge Island, Washington. She is a longtime supporter and admirer of Ken's work. The board members are assisted by their St. Beders by Dea, and supporters who flocked around Father Ken during his priesthood.

JAMBO FROM THE FKV FARM OF NTHARE. KENYA.
I hope you are well AND thank you for ALL you are doing for our women of South Sudan and, now, Kenya.

I am always amazed, after all these years, when driving from Nairobi here to Nthare, that all I see working in the fields are women! Where are the men?

So, I am inspired by Abunas Ike and John you and their agricultural/community development for our women. that our brothers John and Ike inspired me and fr Linus here in Kenya.

We are starting a program here as a result. Trying to teach our women agricultural skills .. how, when, how, where and what to plant,harvest and sell... how to find water, how to take care of themselves in regards to health, and how to learn / read in their original language and in ESL.

The collage here shows our first meeting yesterday.

I am looking forward to seeing and hearing Abunas John and Ike Ike on Zoom or Facetime soon. Actually, my schedule is so FLEXIBle that any time they want to connect on Zoom or Facetime is somethingIamlooking forward to. I am available.

Because it's hard for me to get into South Sudan without a visa, I am researching how hard it is for them to get to Nairobi. Anyway, I love you, and I'm
inspired by all of your support in making this happen...allowing women to experience slices of heaven on earth and not just somethingtoexperienceafterone croaks. You are in my prayers. ALWAYS.
Working and harvesting your Vineyard...
KENI-YA YA
