Dear Father Bazan,
Once again, the Christmas presents your parishioners donated to our families this year were wonderful. We absolutely love when Deacon Mochel calls and lets us know St. Clare has chosen our organization. The gifts are beyond any expectations. It is clear your parishioners listen to our needs and then generously provide. There is never an item that we do not use. The bedding, lamps, rugs, towels, etc., were not only beautiful but so needed as we continue to move new families in. These gifts go a long way in serving our families and assisting the ministry with our financial needs.
On a side note, we also enjoy the visit from Mr. Pat and Murphy:) Always a pleasure and great conversation.
Please share our thanks with your community. If ever you are in the area, please stop by and visit. We would love to show you around. We will be keeping all at St. Clare in our prayers and ask that you keep all at Mary's Shelter VA in yours. We will keep you in our prayers, please keep our staff and families in yours. Have! a blessed 2023.
In Christ,
Kathleen Wilson, Director
on behalf of board, staff and families of Mary's Shelter VA
