Edmundite Missions Celebrates 80th Anniversary
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
A Selma organization with a long history of helping people in the community is celebrating a major milestone this year.
Edmundite Missions has been hard at work in the Selma community for 80 years.
The Catholic non-profit has been providing food, clothing and shelter to people in need since 1937.
The charity is hosting a four-day celebration to commemorate its 80th anniversary.
One of the highlights of the celebration is a gospel singing competition featuring gospel recording artist Deitrick Haddon.
“He will be performing and helping us judge the competition,” said Edmundite President and CEO Chad McEarchern.
“He was a former Gospel Male Singer of the Year for a couple of years and is presently on Pastors of LA, so we’re excited to have him here in Selma and part of our celebration.”
