From The OLA
Outreach Team
The Outreach team is genuinely appreciative of your constant giving to our ministry. Over 225 + families in the St. Patrick’s PREP program will receive a Christmas gift thanks to your generosity with the OLA Giving Trees. We received 380+ gifts and $2,000+ in gift cards.
Almighty God and Father of Light, A child is born for us and a son is given to us. Your eternal Word leaped down from Heaven in the silent watches of the night, and now your Church is filled with wonder at the nearness of her God. Open our hearts to receive His life and increase our vision…that our lives may be filled with His glory and His peace (Opening Prayer for Christmas Mass at dawn). Amen.
Patrician Society Thank You
Our pantry serves nearly 1,300 different needy households all through the year. We depend greatly upon your wonderful generosity to help ensure our continued existence. We appreciate your involvement in our mission to alleviate hunger in the area and we hope to have more of the same connection with you in 2020! Best wishes to all in this holy season of Christmas!
