Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

During the season of Advent, let us share our ‘Gifts of the Spirit’ with those in our parish and community who experience challenges related to pregnancy, parenting and family life. As our faith celebrates the gift and value of every human life, let us also realize our obligations to support those women and families who face challenge. This year, the recipient of our generosity is: St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth, Infant & Families. To learn about St. Ann’s center visit: https://www.stanns.org/.
