Greetings! We pray this finds your family healthy and enjoying extra family time.
At Christmas time, you might remember our parishioners signed cards that were given to the homebound and shut-ins. Since our elderly cannot be visited in a normal way, we want to make sure they know we are thinking and praying for them.
We would like to begin a “Pen Pal” program with our youth and elderly. This is how we hope it works…
1) The youth will write a letter to the assigned elderly. To make it more personable, maybe have your youth hand write the letter. In the letter, you might want to include the following….
2) After writing the letter, you would either mail it to the person or you can put it in the slot on the door of the Parish Office and we will mail it for you.
3) Our hope is that the pen pal will write a letter back to your child and the conversing will continue long after the quarantine is over. If your family is willing to do this, please email Lori Kisby at lkisby@stpatsfremont.org and she will send you the information. Thank you for your help with making our elderly feel the love of Jesus
In Christ,
Father Nicholas Mishek, Associate Pastor at St. Patrick, and Lori Kisby, Director Youth Formation
