CHRISTMAS PARTY DANESE COURT

December is a special month for the children at Danese Court. They are looking forward to a visit from their special Santa — Rudi Urban. Rudi is well known by the Philip Neri family, whether baking bread or playing the drum for liturgy. The Danese Court Library Christmas Party will be Thursday, December 21, and Santa will once again make an appearance, bringing the gift of laughter and small presents, many of which are provided by our church family. They may not know all of us, but they have a great representative in “our” Santa. How many children can actually recognize their Santa when he’s met a refugee family at the airport and delivers them to their new home in Jacksonville. Now, that’s a gift!

We will have a small tree set up on December 3 and December 10, with ornaments describing items we will be purchasing for the children this year. We are choosing to take cash donations this year so that we can be sure we have extra gifts and items based on the number and ages of the children who come — we always have unexpected guests at Christmas and we want to be prepared. Please leave a small donation on the tree and say a prayer that our kids will do well in school this year. We hope you understand how important this event is to them and please know, that you are invited any Monday or Thursday to come read a book, play a game or color a picture with us.

Merry Christmas!
