Gerry Gabriel: Federal Government

Catholic Diocese Of Charlottetown Dept: Co-ordinator Gerry Gabriel said the church is privately sponsoring 11 people from refugee camps in the Middle East to come to P.E.I, according to CBC. "All of the dollars are being generated by Islanders," Gabriel said and the Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown is currently helping three families from Iraq escape religious persecution. Gabriel said many of the previous church sponsorships have been co-ordinated with financial assistance from the federal government but these three sponsorships will be entirely privately funded.
