These toys will be going to military children at Christmas - yes, they have a need! Or you may bring boxes of bars, hand warmers, etc. or any item that would fit into a large zip lock bag which will be filled by the youth and dispensed to the warming shelter or to the soldiers who will be deployed to the hills of Afghanistan Join us for Mary: A Biblical Walk With The Blessed Mother at Nativi-ty on Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00 p.m. beginning November 17 and at Im-maculate Conception on Thursdays from 9:00-11:00 a.m. beginning No-vember 19.
