Blessed Sacrament Hosts ‘Fair Trade’ Market

Published October 19, 2006

The St. Katharine Drexel Book Store and Gift Shop at Most Blessed Sacrament Church, Atlanta, will hold a “fair trade” marketplace from Sunday to Sunday, Nov. 5-19 in the parish center. All are welcome.

The bookstore is working with Catholic Relief Services and A Greater Gift, a nonprofit program of SERRV International, to provide handmade gifts, household items, jewelry and other goods made by artisans and farmers in 35 countries around the world, including Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. The alternative trade organization provides workers with a safe working environment—more funds from their crafts return to them.

The church is located at 2971 Butner Road, SW, Atlanta.
