Christmas Gifts Ministry

The generosity of St. Nicholas parishioners can be seen with the numbers below. Thank you to all the parishioners who donated their time and treasure by filling the needs within the community through this ministry. A huge thank you to all our volunteers who decorated and monitored the gift boards, helped carry gifts to the office and count the mountain of presents. God bless you all.
We wish you a blessed Christmas season.
