Putting Our Faith Into Action!
A Very Big Thank You!!
Thank you to everyone who donated their time and effort to provide items to our local food banks in both McCall and Cascade!
December food bank operations in McCall - “How do we express our humble thanks for the overwhelming support from our parish family.
-
Thank you, All who so generously supported the canned food drive
-
Thank you, Father Neely and our leaders for financial, spiritual, and advisory assistance
-
Thank you, Volunteers - Derek & Penny, Sean & Loreta, Cathleen, Barbara, Debbie, Sally, (having a fluent Spanish speaker was a gift for us and those with limited English language skill), Terri, Sue, Chris, and Larry, our man who did everything
We served a record number of families at our Christmas offering, and were assisted by McCall Fire & EMS who delivered that day to the Sr/Disabled housing folks.Thank you for your continued prayers and care for those families struggling in so many ways, and may we lighten their burden a bit in 2023.”
