ADOPT A CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Continuing in our support of the parish social ministry office, we will be asking sharks families to “adopt a stocking” for a homebound parishioner. Sign up to adopt a stocking starting 11/19 and will contintue at 11/23 practice. Empty Stockings will be given out at practice or you can fill your own.

Holiday colorings, drawings cards from the kids are very appreciated.

Stockings must be returned no later than 12/7 so that they can be distributed to homebound parishioners. We need 75 Stockings filled to give every SW home bound parisher a stocking. See events tab for list of items to fill stocking

Please see the letter from Social Ministry thanking all our Sharks for their kindness.

Dear CYO Sharks Swim Team Coaches, Swimmers, and Families,
Happy New Year from the St. William the Abbot Parish Social Ministry office! We want to start the year off by letting you know how grateful we are for your support of our ministry. Your donations this holiday season were so generous of time, talent and spirit! You made the homebound parishioners of St. Williams feel cherished, loved and remembered. What a gift you gave them!
The homemade placemats and mini pumpkins were all delivered the weekend before Thanksgiving, and parishioners loved them! Then the Christmas stockings were delivered the week before Christmas and were also a big hit! In particular, the homemade greeting cards included in the Christmas stockings really touched people’s hearts as a personal gesture of kindness.
As we enter 2024, we want you to know how much we value your hard work on behalf of our parish’s homebound seniors. Please know that your efforts have made a concrete impact upon the lives of others! We are so grateful for the CYO Sharks, and we pray for God’s blessings for you and your families.

Sincerely,
Allison Marro
Director
St. William the Abbot
Parish Social Ministry

Thank you so much to everyone who filled Christmas Stockings for the home bound parishioners! GO SHARKS!
A special shout out to the Bergen girls who made over 13 handmade cards to add to stockings.
