Weekend Recap
Christmas Gift Baskets and Coats for Kids

Our scaled back Christmas Basket Program was successful! THANKS to everyone who adopted a family and helped buy, wrap, sort and deliver gifts last week. Special thanks to PGK Dennis Lundbom and Lady Laura McQuoid for spearheading the effort.

In addition to the gift baskets, our Coats for Kids program provided coats for 90 kids just in time for their Christmas breaks from school and the colder winter weather coming up.

The program was scaled back the joy and holiday spirit we brought to the families was certainly not.

To those who were asking why we selected fewer families this year instead of the 100+ we did the past few years, it is because we did the program on our own this year and did not partner with the Catholic Community of Pleasanton.

Upcoming Events
