If it’s the first time you’re reading about or annual Thanksgiving Day dinner, here are some facts about this effort. We began 6 years ago and have steadily expanded outside the bounds of our parish and into the Wilsonville community. We have an amazing kitchen facility that allows us to provide the full meal and a dining space that has served us well for this event. Even more importantly, the wonderful volunteers who have stepped up and assisted, even if only for a few hours, have made this possible. It is truly enjoyable and heart-warming!

Thanksgiving dinner at St. Cyril’s will be here before you can shake some feathers! We will be  advertising for volunteers for all types of duties: chefs, carvers, food prep on Wednesday and Thursday, setup and cleanup, dining room help, dishwashers, and servers. If you have an hour or two to spare, we trust you will feel fulfilled. Watch for signup sheets or call us even before then.

If you or someone you know, will be without family or don’t have the space or resources, to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal at home, please let us cook for you. Pick-up is also available, but we’d love to set a place for you and yours.

It is always time for a clothing drive that provides warm clothing to families at St. Joseph Family Shelter in Mount Angel. Your donations are also distributed to needy area residents.  Shoes, books, clothes and household items are appreciated.  Your donations should be clean and in reasonably good condition.  Please place these items in the collection boxes in the Hall. 
   
There is a desperate need at the St. Joseph shelter for men’s clothing. This is an ongoing need. Most clothing donated are women’s and children’s clothing, which are greatly appreciated.  Here is the chance for lending a helping hand to our area men. Won’t you please consider making a donation of clean used men’s clothing today.  

Your usual compassionate response is always appreciated by the recipients of your generosity.
