Mary’s Blessings Ministry—December 2020 Thanks for your Generosity! Dear Parishioners, it has been a crazy year, but we want to let you know how much we have appreciated your monthly donations to Mary’s Blessings. We all know how hard just getting by has been for many people. Everyone has heard stories of hardship from friends or neighbors. With so much going on to disrupt our lives you have continued to give generously to the poor in our area. It seems like no matter how much we have to share with them, we could use even more. It is disheartening to see how many calls come in with requests for such large amounts to pay the rent and utilities these days. There is so much suffering going on! This Christmas season you have been especially generous with our Christmas families. Last year we only provided for 6 families with 26 children. This year we have had 15 families with 52 children recommended to us by the Huffman ISD counselors and you have taken all of them to provide Christmas for the children! Thank You!! May you and your families have a wonderful Christmas in spite of the Corona Virus and may your generosity never slow down! For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a rain storm against a wall. [Isa 25:4]
