Thank you for your generous response to the Gospel call for Love and Mercy.
Details of this project include Referrals of families from 5 Westside Schools, plus Pajarito Community; Gifts for 584 children; Special Collections from parishioners to help cover costs - $6,595, in addition to ongoing contributions made in the Gathering Space.
Several parents brought their children to help move food and gifts from the Catholic Center to La Sagrada Familia for preparation. The children showed us all the JOY OF GIVING! About 350 people helped prepare and deliver to our families.
Also, Lowe’s and Home Depot provided boxes to fill with food items. The Archdiocese provided the Catholic Center space where all these items could be sorted and assembled. Albertsons continued their support of our Parish Ministry with discounts and other ways to help the families receiving food.
Don't forget to show our support to the vendors that helped us make our Annual Christmas Basket a success.
