Christmas in August

Help us honor the memory of Isabella Feliciano, who was prematurely taken from this life at Christmastime 2010 after a long battle with leukemia. Although it isn’t Christmas quite yet, we are planning something special for the 9:00 am Mass on August 30th.

Please bring a new, unwrapped gift that is suitable for children of all ages to any of the Masses prior to August 30th.  You may also drop off gifts during office hours at the parish office. These gifts will be delivered to the Comer Children’s Hospital at the University of Chicago, where doctors and nurses undertook heroic efforts to extend Isabella’s life.

The gifts do not need to be elaborate or expensive. Books, pencils, pads, crayons and other arts and crafts materials, games, etc. will go a long way to put a smile on the kids’ faces.  To add to the feeling of that Christmas morning surprise, the songs at the 9:00 am Mass on Sunday, August 30th will have a Christmas theme.  Come prepared to sing some Christmas carols and please bring a gift to help honor the memory of Isabella Feliciano.

If you have questions, please contact Rebecca in the parish office at(773) 528-6650, or robrien@stteresaparish.org.
