The Catholic Youth in Action (CYIA) Team is hosting a Holiday Fundraiser on Sunday, December 4th. It will begin with a Holiday Pancake Breakfast at 10:30am, and will include Family Photos around the Christmas Tree, a bake sale, a Christmas Tree raffle, gift wrapping and child care services with a Christmas theme for those parents who need to go shopping! All good will offerings will support the team's 2023 Mission trip Cincinnati. Please click the link above for additional details.
This year’s proceeds will be used to help support Middle School Catholic Youth in Action summer local mission week. A service program for middle school students, much like the high school CYIA, these students will focus on service and social justice for a week this summer. Each day is centered on service and respect for our own community in the morning, and faith and fun in the afternoon.
Our Christmas Giving Tree program has begun! Gift tags outlining the name, age, and gift ideas are available on the Christmas trees on the altar. Please note that although there are several gift ideas listed on each tag, they are just that: wishes and ideas. Once again, we will be providing gifts to a Leominster nursing home, The Beacon of Hope, and those who come to our door for assistance. If you or your family can reach out to purchase one of the these gifts, your generosity will be greatly appreciated. We ask that all gifts be returned unwrapped and with the tag attached by Sunday, December 11th so that Christmas gift pickups may be made on time. When taking a tag, we need to ask you to please be mindful of this December 11th due date for the gift return. Thank you!
We return to Eastern Standard Time again this weekend, so don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, or when you wake up on Sunday morning.
