Sponsor-a-Family Program
Inspired by the Christmas Giving Tree, families requested we extended this idea year round. Sponsoring Families help local, struggling East Harlem families by providing them a few of their basic needs for the month, such as food , clothes, school supplies for children, pampers, etc.
A monthly Wish List is given to the Sponsor Family specifying their food, clothing, baby or child’s needs for that month. This list may change from month to month or remain the same. As the Sponsoring Family, your family would pick one or more items from the list and drop them off at St. Francis de Sales Church for donation before the end of the month. A monthly acknowledgment letter or picture will be sent to you. In addition, because your donation is tax deductible, if you conserve your receipts, a tax letter will be provided to you upon request. Due to the nature of the program, we request Sponsoring families commit to a minimum of 6 months.
If you would like to serve as a Sponsor in this program, or if you would like to be considered as a Recipient Family, please contact Ms. Diana Delgado at outreach@sfdsnyc.org, or leave a message at the church rectory. This program is run in partnership with Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health
Services.
It’s not too Late to Learn Crochet
Meetings will take place once a week on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm until further notice. For most it will only take two meetings to learn this useful trade, so if you are interested, do stop by! All you have to bring is yarn and a crochet needle (all available online, or through local stores such as Michael’s Craft Store) and we will teach you the rest.
A special thanks to our instructors Sherri Drew and Mariana Rodriguez for their time and contribution to our church family.
Catholic Sports
Catholic Sports will meet on May 30 at 7:00 pm in the rectory. If you are interested in joining, please email Diana Delgado at outreach@sfdsnyc.org asap. Once the league commences, we may not be able to accept new players.
