G.I.F.T. Card program ends

The G.I.F.T. Card program at St. Paul ends January 1 “due to minimal sales support and lack of trained volunteers.” The program reportedly provided $18,000 in the five years of its existence, but it was requiring more and more effort. Because of governmental regulation of programs such as this, the diocese was requiring extensive reports which are time-consuming and troubling for volunteers. The G.I.F.T. Card Committee would like to thank the parish for its continued support.
