A Christmas Child – Our gifts are many and in abundance
This Christmas Season our parishioners will have the opportunity to make a difference within our Community by participating in “A Christmas Child” sponsored by our parish. Many of the school age children in Lizana Elementary, Saucier Elementary and W. Wortham Elementary need you to help make this Christmas a little brighter for them. This is everyone’s opportunity to share the blessings of what we have with a child. If you would like to sponsor a child this season, please contact Wanda Lizana or Beverly Saucier and share the gifts of love and kindness with one of these children. (Contact information located in the November 19th and 27th bulletin.)
Gifts need to be dropped at the church office no later than Monday, December 11th for delivery to the school December 12th. Gifts should be placed in a gift bag, but do not wrap them. Remember to attach the child’s identification tag on the bag containing his/her gifts.
