Thank You Saint Francis de Sales Parishioners!!!
/
On behalf of the parishioners of the Mother of the Americas Parish (former Our Lady of Tepeyac) and the Sharing Parish Ministry here at St. Francis, we would like to express our gratitude to the St. Francis Parishioners for all the gift cards that you gave us for Christmas. We sent the amount of $17,170 in gift cards.
In addition, we sent:
Hats, gloves, scarves, and mittens (donated by the St. Francis de Sales students and the Religious Education students)
$2000 in gifts cards for the Our Lady of Tepeyac High
School donated by Meg’s Legacy of Hope
Many gifts donated by Parishioners, Mora & Ken Priess
2 bikes donated by Parishioners
Many gifts such as air mattresses, socks, underwear, pajamas, wipes, diapers, and medicines to the refugees that are being taken care by the St. John the Baptist Ministry at Mother of the Americas
Pajamas donated by the Girl Scouts
Food from the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry
Everything was distributed at the Mother of the Americas Parish, Food Pantry, High School, and Elementary School.
Our most sincere “Thank You” to Father Ryan and the Ministry Center Staff for always supporting this Ministry and allowing the friendship with the Mother of the Americas Parish to continue and flourish every year.
A big “Thank You” to Jane Clery for helping us so much to collect and pack the gifts. We would have not been able to do it without your invaluable help.
You are all an example of God’s love, and this project would have not been possible without the help of so many. May God bless you abundantly and may you have a wonderful 2024, full of happiness, peace, love, and good health!
Sincerely,
Melissa Larson
