St. Mary /St. Richard, WE DID IT! Another successful great Christmas Project that will bring a lot of Joy and Smiles to children. On behalf of the Cross Catholic Outreach program, I would like to THANK children, their parents and guardians, and parishioners from St. Mary and St. Richard Churches for their generous support of the 2021 Box of Joy Christmas project. We collected over 130 Boxes of Joy that will make Christmas joyful for kids in Latin America. In addition, we collected over seven hundred dollars to cover the shipping cost of your Christmas gifts. Thank you for your desire to spread Christmas joy and the story of Christmas — the Good News of God’s love — with children worldwide. I also would like to thank all volunteers that made this project successful. Thank you for your time and support. May God bless the children, parents, parishioners, and volunteers from St. Mary and St. Richard Parish! Paul Zdzieblowski Pastoral Associate
