Operation Christmas Child

Distribution of Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes outside, before and after Mass on October 2 & 3rd, just in time to make packing a shoe box as a Thanksgiving Activity – an awesome opportunity to celebrate our abundance here in Canada. Return packed shoe boxes on the weekend of Nov. 6/7.
Children in receiving countries in Central America and West Africa are so appreciative of someone packing a gift for them, sending them God’s Love in a tangible way.
