Thank You to our 2024 Winter Welcome Table Christmas Dinner Volunteers!
Thank you to all who assisted at the parish’s Winter Welcome Table Christmas Dinner. Special thanks to Cardinal Leo who attended and helped to serve the meal. As he spoke before the meal, Cardinal Leo reminded us of Christ coming into the world to love all people and of the importance of our caring for one another as Jesus has loved us. Thank to all of the volunteers who prepared and served the meal. 175 guests attended. Without this meal, many would not have enjoyed a Christmas dinner. The Winter Welcome Table meal is served every Monday between November and the end of March.
