Angel Tree Program a Success

January 4, 2021 in /by

Our Angel Tree collection was successful. Through the kindness and generosity of our Saint Katharine community , we collected $2,665.00 in gift cards. We were able to bring Joy to 16 families, but most importantly 43 children in need.

The smiles and tears of appreciation on the counselors’ faces said it all! It is a beautiful thing, that through this simple act of kindness, we were able to help out our neighbors during this difficult year. Thank you for your generosity!

St. Alphonsus Liguori – August 1, 2020

Although the Easter Vigil was canceled that doesn’t mean that the Lord’s work of sharing the faith was suspended. We still had souls preparing to join the Catholic Church and adult Catholics seeking full initiation into Christ’s Church. As unique as shutting down the Easter Vigil is to Church history, so we find a unique opportunity in our faith this August.
