Dear St. Theresa Families, 

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas this Advent season, we are asking our students and families to make a small, but significant difference in the lives of others in our local community.  This year St. Theresa will support two initiatives during Advent:  the Orleans-Cumberland Food Bank and an Ottawa Catholic sister school in need of support (as well as those in our community in need of support).  

The Orleans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre Food Bank provides for the needs of families in our local community.  As we await for baby Jesus to be born again in our hearts this Christmas, our project will focus on the moms and babies in need in our community.  We will be collecting:  non-perishable baby food, baby cereal, toddler snacks, school snacks, formula, diapers, pull-ups, Goodnites, hygiene products and any non-perishable food items.  Please click on the link to view frequently required donations.  Donations can be placed in the large basket by the font office.  Food Donations - CRCOC - OCCRC. 

This year, we will be supporting some families in our own school community.  With this in mind, we are asking families to donate grocery store gift cards (e.g., Walmart, No Frills, Giant Tiger, Food Basics, Freshco, Superstore, etc.) to help out.

For every donation brought in, students will place an ornament on our school Christmas tree.  We hope to see the basket brimming with food, and the branches trimmed with ornaments!

The first Sunday of Advent is Sunday, November 30.  Both of our Advent initiatives will take place during the weeks of December 1 - December 18.  

In our final week of Advent together, we will be having a fun  BE Christmas Spirit week from December 15-19.  Click the link for details.

We thank you for your generosity and 

continued support!

God Bless and Merry Christmas,

The St. Theresa Staff
