HOLIDAY FOOD BASKETS
Would you like to help make Thanksgiving or Christmas a little better for someone? Well, you can! The St. Christopher Parish Food Pantry is giving out Holiday food boxes again this year (100 total: 50 for Thanksgiving and 50 for Christmas), and your contribution could help us cover the cost involved. Each box is $24;  you could choose to sponsor one or more boxes exactly, or you could donate a chosen dollar amount toward the overall effort. Whatever your decision, please mail (or bring) your contribution to the St. Christopher parish Office, 910 W. Frank Street, Caro, MI 48723. You can also drop an envelope in the collection basket, marking it for "Holiday Boxes". We thank you in advance for considering this, and may God bless you!

GIVING TREE GIFT PURCHASES
St. Christopher Parish, in coordination with the Thumb Area Mudrunners, is asking for donations for the Giving Tree.  We are asking for the following most requested items, please DO NOT wrap the gifts.  Families choose items for their children, so it’s easier to select the items when not wrapped. 
 
Items most in need are Science Kits, Arts and Crafts, and Make-Up/Nail Polish Kits for all ages.  Other Items of need include Board Games, Disney Items , Nail Polish Kits, Barbies, Dinosaurs, Batman Items, Baby Dolls, Cars & Trucks, Spiderman Items, Superhero Items,  and Card Games.
 
Gifts will be accepted until the weekend of Dec. 9th/10th. Any questions, call  Karen at 989-673-2276.  Bless you for helping those families in need have a special Christmas.

  Christ's Mission Appeal gives Catholics in the Diocese of Saginaw an opportunity to offer thanksgiving to God for His    
  indescribable gifts.  Your generosity to this appeal allows for the continuation and expansion of a wide variety of ministries
  to the faithful, while engaging in the work of evagilization.
