Saint Mary’s Development and Care Centre (DCC) started as a shelter for children and provided clothing. Today, the DCC continues to be a beacon of hope in the community to build a better world for all. A gala dinner was held to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and the evening was filled with food, music, and heartfelt stories. The late founder, Thelma Henderson, was represented by her daughter, Margie Keeton, on what would have been Henderson’s 90th birthday.
