Be sure to indicate it’s your membership dues. Renew your own membership and encourage others to join the CWL. It makes our Council stronger and our work lighter.
St. Michael's SSVP Angel Tree
On Saturday, December 6, members of the SSVP
welcomed families in our parish community to our church. Through your generosity, we provided FreshCo and Walmart gift cards to each family to help them with food and gifts for their family at Christmas.
The Salvation Army generously donated Teddy Bears secured through the London Knights Teddy Bear Toss. The Knights of Columbus assisted us with transporting the bears and we are thankful for their help.
Without you and our community partners, we could not serve these families.
May God bless you and your family abundantly this Christmas season.
