GIVING TREE

The +TLC+ Teen Group placed two trees in the Narthex with gift tags for the needy of our county. Most of these gifts are distributed by Catholic Charities in Poughkeepsie. We encourage that every family take a gift label and return the gift with the gift label attached. Each gift is for a specific individual, so please return them unwrapped.

     Many individuals and families have wandered away from their faith in God, or from involvement in the Catholic Church. Sometimes a simple invitation can lead them to return. Some might be in life situations that prevent them from fully participating in the sacramental life of the Church, and feel they are no longer welcome or allowed to be part of the parish family. They must be told this is not true. At St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish All are Welcome! 
     If you know anyone who would like to be invited back to the Faith and to the Church, have them contact the Parish Office at 845-227-1710 x2. Also see:   www.catholicscomehome.org/
