The amazing generosity of ICSJ parishioners was on full display this week. We were able to complete deliveries of food and gifts to many families in need this Christmas! We delivered:
26 bags of Christmas gifts from the ICSJ Giving Tree for families of people incarcerated through the support of Kolbe House Jail Ministry.
$350 in Home Depot gift cards to Mother of Americas parish, compliments of ICSJ School families.
Hundreds of bags of gifts, groceries and Mariano's gift cards to families at Union Baptist Church, Blessed Maria Gabriella parish, Art on Sedgwick and food pantry families, furnished by the Santa's Volunteers organization.
Many thanks to the generosity of the ICSJ Community and beyond in making this a special Christmas for so many families! A special note of thanks to Elly Rodriguez and Maureen Wilson for their work in organizing the programs, Claire Cosgrove and Megan Kelly from ICSJ School for calling participating families, ICSJ young adult group for wrapping all our presents, Dave Westerman of Santa's Volunteers, Colm Murphy ICSJ’s head of maintenance for his help picking up gifts on Saturday morning, and Jake Ferraro on our maintenance team for driving the truck and helping with deliveries.
