Yes, it's that time again - Christmas cards!
The past few years, due to your generosity and love, we have been able to provide the members of St. Paul's Community at SCI Albion with Christmas cards when they attend the Christmas Eve service. I cannot stress enough how meaningful this small act is in the lives of the incarcerated. For some, this is their only Christmas gift. They cannot believe that someone "on the outside" would even think of them, let alone send a card and pray for them at Christmas.
If you would like to help this year, please write a short message in the card and sign ONLY YOUR FIRST NAME. Do not seal the envelope, and do not send any envelopes with a foil lining (they set off the metal detector!!)
We will once again have the privilege of celebrating with these holy men on Christmas Eve, and will deliver the cards then.
You can give the cards to us at Ultreya this Friday, or mail them to us at:
St. Peter Church Prison Ministry
Attn: Janet and Arco Wasserman
PO BOx F
Conneautville, PA 16406
Generally about 150-175 for Christmas Eve - but don't feel like you have to do one for everyone. If we all do some, we will be able to give 1-2 cards to each man. The past couple of years we have been able to give each man 3-4 cards!!!
