From One Salesian Family to Another

On the left, Frank and Bernice Collins visit their brother, Fr. James Collins, SDB, (seated) at Mercy Center, Oakland, Calif. In 1990, Frank and Bernice also moved into the Center. Frs. Thomas Prendiville, SDB, and Joseph Scanagatta, SDB, share this visit in the Center's patio.

Bernice C. Collins, sister of Salesian priest James A. Collins, bequeathed her entire estate to the Salesians. Bernice was very supportive both financially and spiritually in preparation of young men for religious life and the priesthood.

Bernice who lived all her life in Oakland, Calif., and her other brother, Francis, completed their earthly life at Mercy Care Center in the same city.

We Salesians appreciate this generous bequest since the cost of educating a young man as a Salesian brother or priest is very high. If you would like to have more information on preparing your will or planned giving, please contact:
