Thank you to all who supported the basket program during the 2019 calendar year with donations of time and resources. We provided help to families in the Fountain Lake, Jessieville and Mt. Pine school districts. During the year we delivered 33 baskets for Easter, 31 for the Summer Program, 60 for Thanksgiving and 54 for Christmas; that is a total of 178 families helped. There are 509 children in those families. The amount spent on food given was approximately $16,500. At Christmas, 111 children were given 4 presents each with an approximate value of $9,000 along with a certificate for a pair of shoes with a value of over $4000. The total value of our parish's help to those families is over $35,000! Our parish continues to lead the way in helping those less fortunate. All of those who helped are truly doing God's work!
