Community Services

Outreach Opportunities

Cards for Prisoners.  We are collecting new,

unsigned Christmas cards to distribute to prisoners at Ascension Parish Jail through the Prison Ministry to allow prisoners to send cards to their families and friends

during the holiday season. We need approximately 5,000 cards for this outreach program. Cards may be dropped off at the collection receptacle in Church or Parish Office no later than December 2.

Christmas Basket Donation Envelopes.  Money

collected for the Christmas baskets will be used to

purchase food for Christmas meals which will be

distributed to the needy families in our community.

Return your

donation to the Parish Office or place it in the collection basket during Mass or give

securely through our website. This will be for the entire month of December.

Sock it to us. Sock donations are needed for ADULT residents who

reside in Gonzales Healthcare

Nursing Home, Azalea Estates

Assisted Living and Magnolia Assisted Living.  Socks do not need to be wrapped and are due by December 16 at the Parish Office or after the weekend Masses.

Christmas

Assistance

Please continue with your

generous spirit to assist individuals through the

annual Star Tree

project.  This includes our regularly served needy in the community, the Women’s Shelter, the Men’s Shelter and the elderly that we serve every month.  Adoptions began the weekend of

November 23/24, November 30/December 1, and

December 7/8.  Gifts are to be returned to the Church on the weekend of December 14/15.

Please do not drop off any of your donations in church when someone is not there to receive them. (We have had them stolen in the past).  During the week your gifts/donations can be brought to the Parish Office during business hours Monday-Thursday 8:30am to 4:30pm and Friday 8:30am to 12:00pm.  If you have any questions regarding any of these community outreach projects, please

contact Anna at the Parish Office.

St. Theresa’s Community Services THANKS YOU for your generosity during this blessed season.
