Just a reminder that our Advent Giving Tree program is under-way until the end of the month. We are collecting donations for the Neighbors In Need program that supports assistance to local Simsbury-area families and individuals who are in the midst of struggles—financial and other. Your support can help buy fuel for the home, food, offer assistance with repairs for automobiles so that people can get to work and continue to care for their families, and other types of everyday assistance. It also supports the Knights of Malta Mobil House of Care by enabling these Catholic Knights and Dames to provide medical care to the poorest of the poor and working poor families in the Archdio-cese of Hartford. Medical tests and diagnosis, treatment with free medicines and therapy, to surgery and ongoing treatment through St. Francis Hospital, this outreach program is literally a lifesaver. Through many volunteer doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and lay volunteers, to the assistance of the pharma-ceutical companies and the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal—life is given, offered and sustained. Thanks for your help to these pro-grams. The Parish Legacy Fund is also supported, offering ongo-ing assistance to the needs of this Catholic community at work. Thank you!
