Care packages for soldiers

CARE PACKAGES FOR SOLDIERS
Because we care
The CFF classes will be collecting items for care packages to send to our soldiers oversees. There will be a box for your items in the back of the Church and down in the Church Hall. We have been able to contact a group that will not only package our items for us, but also ship them for us at no cost. A “Wish List” is on the next page. We will be collecting items or money thru November 14. On Sunday, November 14 we will have an opportunity for families to write letters of thanks or make decorations. Please join us in making a difference in our soldiers’ lives as a way of thanking them for all they do. Any class, family or individual is welcome to help after 9:30 Mass on the 14th in the Church hall during the coffee social. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to see either Marion Gillis or Caroline Llewellyn. CARE PACKAGES FOR SOLDIERS
