Thank You from St. Gerard's Society of St. Vincent de Paul
We are extremely grateful for all your support for our Christmas food and gift hampers. With your help we delivered 144 hampers, a record high for Christmas. Thanks to all of you for the gifts you provided, your financial support and your support with food. Special thanks to all those who came out to deliver the hampers and to our scout members who helped load the cars.
We greatly appreciate the donations made by our parish schools: St. Catherine, St. Stephen and St. Gerard. Thanks to our parish Catholic Women’s League and Knights of Columbus for their generous support. You made a difference to many in our community who needed help this Christmas.

Reduce, Reuse and Regift
Before you throw away your Christmas cards consider dropping the covers in the St. Vincent de Paul food bin. We will use them next year to make Christmas angels for our gift tree.
Did you receive gifts that you could not use? Consider regifting them to the St Vincent de Paul food bin and we will use them for next year’s Christmas gifts. Thank you for your support.
