A Christmas Dinner Party

A Christmas Dinner Party
A local charity organization (its staff and clients) each year is given a Christmas Dinner Party hosted here by our St. Francis parish family.

"This party is one of the highlights of our holiday season!  The food, company and activities are always wonderful."   Last year Santa, the Raffle man, great musicians, our kids choir, and our party coordinators of, decorations, activities, food and kitchen, as well as, our more than 70 servers, clearly saw joy in the eyes of our 180 guests, especially the children.

This year we are proud to again host Perry Nursery School of Ann Arbor, which benefits the struggling single parent low-income families of our area.   The School provides full-time, year round child care, early childhood education and intervention services in a child-centered, literacy-rich environment for at-risk children within Washtenaw County.

You're invited at 6:00 pm Tuesday, December 13, 2011, in the Parish Activities Center.
We need you to participate by providing a dish for the party or serving at the party. This is a buffet style meal serving about 150-200 persons.  Interested in helping? Sign-up on the parish web site, or, contact our parish office of Life, Service + Justice, justice@stfrancisa2.org or 821-2121; or, please fill out the form at:
