You've Been Saint Nicked
We need your help. Every year the youth collects homemade cookies and candies. They meet to pack the treats in bags with a tag that says "In the spirit of Saint Nicholas, You've been Saint Nicked. The teens are then sneaked into the Seminarians at the Pontifical College of the Josephinium by a secret cohort in crime to leave the bags on the dinner tables for the Seminarians. The Seminarians look forward to this every year. This year we will need 200 bags. That means we need to come up with around 1000 cookies - 83 dozen cookies and 20 bags of candies. Please sign up and bring your cookies to Johnson Hall kitchen marked "Saint Nick" between Dec 1st and Dec 3rd at 6 pm. If you do not like to use the signup Genius simply call me at 740.814.6053 or mwright@stfrancisparish.net .
