Star Program 2016

Our Christmas Star Program, which began 31 years ago, is now a joint effort with HOPE and 4 inner city parishes to provide Christ- mas to families in need. We provide gifts, a holiday meal, food and basic supplies to those who would otherwise go without.

Food collection will begin Oc- tober 29 and go until Decem- ber 11th. While we welcome any donated nonperishable food item, we have our gro-
cery list below. Collection baskets will be located at all church entrances.
