THANK YOU to everyone who donated and volunteered for our Giving Tree program this year. This year over 500 gifts and three carloads of toys were collected for eight different organizations and several families.

Especially to Mike Egan - Our Giving Tree Santa who has been coordinating the Giving Tree Outreach project for over 15 years! His Christmas Spirit has left a legacy of generosity and hope for all.

THANK YOU to everyone who donated and volunteered for our Adopt-a-Family program this year. A special thanks to our coordinators Fran Davenport and Maria Maddocks and their volunteers. We adopted 95 families (375 family members) this year. 70 parishioners and groups adopted the families, plus another 35+ parishioners contributed items or donations to support them.

Thank you for all the wonderful coat donations. We couldn’t have done it without the Paquette family and volunteers. The October, November, and December Coat Dive collections were very successful. Each month 25 bags of coats were collected and distributed to Marshall Road School families, Committee for Helping Others (CHO), Father McKenna Center, The Lamb Center, Mother of Light Center, and San Juan Vincentians.
