St. Innocent/Project Mexico:

Santa's Helpers

The St. George Youth & Outreach Committee announces that we will be joining the "Santa Program" at St. Innocent Orphanage. Santa’s Helpers, are able to make

Christmas the joyful, magical, love-filled and holy feast that it should be for every child. Some of the boys of St innocent have never received a Christmas gift or had a Christmas

dinner prior to coming to live at the St Innocent Orphanage.

Our willingness to become one of Santa’s special “elves” will ensure that each boy will have gifts under the tree. Please, donate towards the purchase of

clothing for the 2 boys we are Adopting. Gift Lists will be available next in Parish Hall.

UPDATE:

Thank you to all who donated. The money raised made it possible to purchase all the clothing/shoes on the "Boys" Christmas List, plus a few extras.

The Youth of the church went shopping for the Boys on Sunday Nov. 23rd, after services. Father Ted led all the families & children of St George's youth to a day of giving for the St Innocent Santa Program.

A good time was had by all who participated. We are anxiously awaiting the photos & cards from the "boys" when they open their presents and see their "Santa" gifts.

It is hard to say who benefits more, the Orphans or our own youth learning the lessons of Outreach to others from this very young age.
