"At the end it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. Its about what you've given back." --- Denzel Washington
Every December St. Bartholomew Church puts up a Giving Tree. You may choose a child or grandchild of a death row inmate in Terre Haute, Indiana or a child from Bartholomew County. You can also make monetary donations.
Names of children in need of a sponsor for Christmas assistance are available beginning the weekend before Thanksgiving.
St Bartholomew parishioners sponsored 39 children and grandchildren of death row inmates in Terre Haute and 93 Bartholomew County children. In addition to direct sponsorships, St. Bartholomew parishioners also contributed $1,700! Gift cards worth $1,400 were purchased through the SCRIP program, which allowed St. Bartholomew school to also profit! Many thanks to all who participated! |
