Christmas Outreach, our 27 year program of bringing a bit of Christmas cheer to the less fortunate, will continue this year in spite of Covid 19. God is good! We have a new format for the trees in the church, making it much easier to see and select an envelope, and we have added virtual trees. That's right, you can choose your envelope from your phone, tablet, or computer.

The Kairos retreat is coming up in October and we need COOKIES! Each team member is asked to provide 40 DOZEN cookies. Due to the unique requirements of the prison environment, cookies MUST be made according to a few simple guidelines (for example: no fruit, no nuts, no icing, no sprinkles.) Cookies should be about 3” in size, packed in quart-sized Ziplock bags, one dozen per bag. Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, chocolate or oatmeal cookies are great – other varieties are welcome, too! All cookies must be ready by Friday, October 12, 2018 for the for the Kairos Weekend. Also, please pray for the success of the retreat and finally, consider making a donation to help defray the cost of the ministry. More information can be found on the parish website under Outreach Programs. Flyers with team members’ contact information and more details are available in the parish office.
