With the leadership of Darlene, the parish collected gifts to be distributed to victims of Hurricane Sandy.  Small toys and games, as well as toiletries and personal hygiene items were collected.  They were then lovingly placed by members of the parish in shoboxes, wrapped and given to a local organization for distribution.  The packages were delivered to Staten Island and Union Beach, NJ.  Many thanks to all who volunteered their time to think up this project, see it through, wrap the gifts and deliver them!  Christ is born!
