CHRISTMAS COOKIE GIFTS For Shut-ins and the unwell, our precious elders and any others who are in need of a touch of Christmas cheer. This annual parish Pastoral Care initiative has been part of our parish Christmas tradition for many years, and it is deeply appreciated by those who are recipients of our gifts. Each mid-December we ask our parishioners to bake lovely, fresh Christmas cookies and to bring them to the parish hall on the designated date. This year our Cookie Gift day will be Friday, December 20 in the morning following Mass. We need lots of happy helpers. Please phone Sheila Padley at [403] 259-2489 to offer your help. We also need the names of people who should receive one of our Christmas gifts. Please pass the name, phone number and address of these persons on to Sheila, or call the parish office. There will be refreshments for our ‘elves’ available all morning.
