Dear Sir Knights,

The Christmas Cheer program that our Assembly started many years ago gives assistance to those in need during the Christmas season.

Due to the ongoing generosity of our members, the $15.00 we ask of you as members of Stritch Assembly has enabled us to help the many food pantry’s, churches, community groups, and other charitable organizations as they administer to those less fortunate in our Cook County area.

I wish to Thank the members of our Assembly who have donated so far and ask those of you who haven’t yet to PLEASE consider donating.

It is due to the support of you, our members, that we can support this worthwhile program.

Here is a list of the charities we donated to this year:

• St. Joseph Carmelite Home for Girls
• Hines Hospital
• All Souls Food Pantry
• Office of the Deaf
• Mercy Home for Boys and Girls
• St. Vincent de Paul of St Christopher Parish
• Lansing Food Pantry
• Calumet City Resource Center
• Fr. McGivney Home
• Good Shepard Center
• Manteno Veterans Home
• St. Irenaeus Food Pantry
• Missionary Sisters of St Benedict
• Christ Our Savior Food Pantry
• Aid For Women Pregnancy Care Center
• Chicago Special Olympics

It is due to the support of YOU, our members, that we can support this program and these worthwhile organizations.

Fraternally,

Mike Schnabel
Past Faithful Navigator
