Thank you to our very generous parishioners for participating in our annual outreach programs to help our brothers and sisters in need. This year, we were able to provide Christmas wishes for over 800 individuals as part of our Christmas in a Box program! Families, children, senior citizens and veterans were gifted a wish list item or items as well as a grocery gift card for Christmas dinner and decorations to make the season bright! Our Giving Tree program was also successful, providing gift cards to Family Promise of Morris County, serving those in our area that are homeless and food insecure. Thank you all for your generosity and providing a Merry Christmas to those in need!
