Sponsor a family committee members. Top - Meg Monaghan, Lita Reilly. Bottom - Katie Colavito, Meg Dooley, Sister Marie Now that Christmas is quickly approaching, the St. Joseph’s Sponsor a Family Program is busy preparing to help over 200 families from our neighboring parishes. We hope to make this a special Christmas for the needy at Our Lady of Loretto Parish in Hemsptead and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Roosevelt. We are asking volunteers to provide a festive Christmas dinner and two gifts for each child in the family. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your blessings with others. It is also a nice way for friends, neighbors, girl and boy scout troops and other groups to join together at Christmas to contribute to those in need.

Collection day 2003. L to R: Eileen Hoey, Ruthann Kiernan, Meg Dooley Please join us in our mission to make this holy season a bit brighter for these families.

Information regarding the program can be found in the St. Joseph’s bulletin and for further questions please contact Lita Reilly at 248-5880 or Meg Dooley at 742-8390.

Collection and distribution of gifts and dinners will take place on Saturday December 11 th.
