Parish News
Boxes of Joy
The Knights of Columbus has partnered with Cross Catholic Outreach and St. Mary of the Assumption Parish to provide Christmas presents to impoverished children around the world. While we thank those who picked up boxes already at either the church or the school, we invite and encourage others to help us to beat last year’s goal by picking up additional boxes at either the front pew inside the door of the church or at the main office of the school, and to fill them with small gifts as outlined in the brochures and envelopes. Please bring filled boxes back to the church or school no later than Friday, November 1, along with $9 for shipping and handling per box. Greeting cards or pictures made by children for each box are welcome and highly encouraged. Please keep the Cross Catholic Outreach ministry in your prayers, as it continues to work to evangelize the Name of Jesus throughout the world. For more information, please contact James McFetridge at jmcfetridge71@gmail.com.
