The party was held at St. Mary’s School cafeteria. Gifts were generously provided by St. Mary’s congregation and socks, hats, mittens and scarfs were collected for several weeks and handed out at the party. Cookies, cakes, candy, ice cream, and hot drinks were served as Santa handed out the gifts. It was always heartwarming to see the beautifully wrapped gifts donated year after year. This party always showed the great heart and giving spirit of the parishioners of St. Mary’s. You provided Christmas gifts for 100-130 men, women and children. One lady’s remark that will always be remembered, “Thank you, St. Mary’s. I live alone and your Christmas gift was the only gift I received”. Now some of the volunteers for this party, 19 years later, are in their 80’s and feel it’s time to turn this great project over to the younger members of the parish. We are hoping some of you will step forward. For more information, please call Alita Weaver, 7983671 or Connie Schwartz, 798-2212. Your weekly contributions to the general collection support the day-to-day operating expenses of the parish, including faith formation, liturgy, maintaining our facilities and personnel.

On Friday evening, teens and adults carried bags and boxes and sorted all the clothes in the SMSA Great Hall. On Saturday, Oct 25th, over the span of 3 hours, 176 people came looking for winter clothing. Many left with bags stuffed full. They were so grateful and we received many blessings. Here are some quotes from our comment book, “Very helpful. What a great idea. God bless.” “...I found exactly what I was looking for and more. Thank you! You all did a wonderful job. So helpful!” “This was an amazing thing for families in need, we thank you for this blessing.” Over the 2 days, 20 teens volunteered their time along with 19 adults. See our photos on the lobby bulletin board. This Make a Difference Day Project was organized by our youth ministry team members: Nora & Renee Borgos, Brittany Carpenter, Corrine Allen, Rebecca & Lisa Daniels, Nate & Colleen Kroeze, Carly & Nan Tracy, Keeley Platt, Joe & Maureen Hooker and Theresa Cheney.

A Christmas Story, The Musical! chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way towards the holiday gift of his dreams, a Red Ryder Action Air Rifle BB Gun (“You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”). A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a double-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between young Ralphie and his Christmas wish.
