Teens - must be 14 and in 9th grade by September 1, 2010
Any parents who chaperone must have Protecting God's Children and fingerprint certificates per Diocesan guidelines.

This year's Christmas party promises to be great fun! First, we'll start the evening with writing letters from Santa. Priced at just $5/each, these letters will bring Christmas joy to the children who receive them. Visit the Letters from Santa page on this web site to learn more details and begin selling letters. 

The teens who sell these letters will be raising money to build a well through Food for the Poor. The largest, international relief organization in the United States, Food for the Poor serves the poorest of the poor throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. With just $205, you can provide water for a village that doesn't have any.

After the letter writing, we'll enjoy the snacks and begin the Chinese gift exchange. Don't miss out! RSVP right now by emailing Paige Mechling.
