We are grateful to everyone who contributed to our mission of helping others during the Thanksgiving season. The financial gifts in the special SVdP envelopes from our regular envelope packets, the loose money from Mass on Thanksgiving Day and the cash in the calendar tins are all greatly appreciated. And the donations of food and personal items from the school, religious education program and our parishioners have been a wonderful blessing to our outreach.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, we were able to prepare and deliver 25 baskets with holiday provisions and gift cards to individuals and families in our community. We had many volunteers working on various aspects of the project. In no particular order, Thank you:

And, thanks to Fr. Tom who joined us to bless the food and contents of the baskets and those who would deliver them. He also led us in prayer for all who would receive these gifts from the St. Clare Community.
