MITTEN TREE UPDATE
Thanks to all the contributors to this
year’s Christmas Tree gift collection. This
year we collected presents for 225
mittens for Catholic Charities Family
Services, Rochester Psychiatric Center
and Andrews Center. Please know how
much your generosity was appreciated by the recipients,
many of whom wouldn’t receive any Christmas gifts if
not for yours. It was so heartening to see how willingly
and strongly the community responded to the Mitten
Tree requests despite the challenges we have all faced
over the past 18 months.
Thanks also to those who helped to organize, sort and
deliver the gifts which this year included several
members from the Youth Ministry. It is wonderful to see
that spirit of caring for those in need being passed on in
the hearts of our young members and a great way to
celebrate Jesus’ birthday.
