Thank you very much to all of the volunteers who worked to prepare the beautiful take-home turkey dinner and distributed Christmas gifts this year. Thank you very much, also, to the many parishioners who so generously donated gifts to be distributed. Through your kindness about 100 meals and gifts were distributed to those who might not otherwise have received a gift or meal.
Thank you for making their Christmas a little more Merrier!
May God bless us all with a Merry Christmas and healthy 2022.
Fr. Michael
