The St. Patrick Social Concerns Committee would like to sincerely thank everyone that contributed to our Christmas Project this year-parishioners of St Patrick, St John, and all others. We presented you with a new plan as part of this crazy time. We wanted to still provide help for the families and had to really figure out how we could best do that. We weren’t sure how you would react to not being able to purchase gifts as usual as that was always a fun project. Well, you stepped up to the plate and went above and beyond our expectations. We were able to help 18 families with 29 children. Everyone received gift certificates for food and gas, families with more children got bigger food certificates, and everyone got the same amount in gas. It really worked out very well on our end, and we hope you all have that “warm fuzzy feeling” inside for your part in our project. Thank you again. We wish you a happy, healthy, and wonderful 2021.
