Rosarians offer thanks for Giving Tree support

St. Catherine's Rosary Society was able to provide 350 Christmas gifts to the Friendship Center for New Beginnings, through the support of parishioners.

"Your generosity has given some families, who were in great need, costs boots and baby supplies," the Rosarians wrote in a letter to parishioners. In addition to the gifts, gift cards to Shop-Rite and Walmart worth over $2,000 were collected.

"Your kindness will allow the families to provide for their children while they are trying to find employment," the letter continued, "also, it made their Christmas a little less stressful."

The Rosarians said the "Families in Need" contributions amounted to $1,550 and will be used as needed to help St. Catherine's parishioners who need support. The Rosarians thanked those who contributed for "sharing your blessings with them."

The letter concluded: "May God bless you and your families for your generous spirit! Wishing you a very healthy and happy new year!"
