Additionally, a parish-wide sock collection was held, which included a contest for elementary-aged youth in faith formation. The parish-wide collection donated 241 pairs of socks, while the youth donated a total of 588 pairs.
“We at Catholic Charities are so grateful for the creative and innovative ways that our parishes engage children, young people, and the whole parish in service to help our neighbors!” said Sister Betsy Van Deusen, CEO of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany. “Thank you so much Our Lady of Assumption. We couldn’t do it without you!”
With over 800 pairs donated, the socks will serve neighbors in need through local Catholic Charities programs such as Community Maternity Services, Blessed Sacrament, St. John’s/St. Ann’s Outreach Center, St. Charles Lwanga House, Joseph’s House and St. Mary’s Outreach.
“Thank you to all who helped us meet the challenge and goal for Our Lady of the Assumption youth ministry,” said Father Geoffrey Burke, pastor.
