The St. Joan of Arc Knights of Columbus and our parish community are participating in the annual drive to benefit the boys and girls of Holy Cross facilities. Many of these children are orphans, abandoned by parents, from broken homes, abused, etc. They look forward to our gift packages each Christmas. Again this year, Brother Francis has asked that we donate $5 and $10 gift cards along with sweatshirts/hoodies. The gift cards should be from K-Mart, Meijer’s, Target or Walmart. New this year is that this annual drive is part of the parish’s annual giving tree. As noted on the specially marked tags on the banners located throughout the church, new sweatshirts in L, XL, 2XL and 3XL sizes are needed (please avoid any that are black in color). You may return these items to the giving tree boxes in Church. If your schedule is too busy and you do not have time to purchase anything, please consider sending a donation. Checks payable to “St. Joan of Arc Knights of Columbus Council 8695” or your donation of gift cards can be mailed to Aldo V. Cardosi | 2040 Country Club Drive | Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236-1604 or simply dropped off at the Parish Center. Help us bring a little joy and hope to these boys and girls on the occasion of Jesus Christ’s birth!
