Home & Facility-Based Parishioners Christmas Gifts Collection

October 31 — November 12

Thank you for remembering and supporting our home and facility-based parishioners this holiday season.

Facility chaplains have approved the specific requested on the gift tags. If you are unable to provide the specific item on a tag, please choose another tag—only provide what is requested. Having the gift bags the requested size is especially important.

Until everyone has had a chance to take a tag, please take only 1-2.

There is a photo of the usable varieties of lip balm on the health ministry bulletin board.

The air in care facilities is very dry and residents tend to lick their lips frequently, leading to painful cracked lips. Flavored or scented varieties are not usable as they cause residents, especially those with dementia, to lick their lips even more, leading to even drier lips.

Please return unwrapped items to the narthex by the afternoon of November 12.
