November, 2003  - The teens of the parish are packing shoe boxes with items donated by the parish for Operation Christmas Child. This is a missions project run by Samaratians Purse.  For the past 5 years - we have been providing shoe boxes for this mission.  The shoe boxes are filled for a boy or girl with toys, candy, gum, coloring books, etc. & shipped to countries all over the world. To Life Teen core members, Rachael & Patrick are standing behind the more than 100 filled boxes.
