~  Adopt a Family  ~

Saint Kateri Parish enthusiastically looks forward to the Adopt a Family Program every year.  It has been one of our most cherished holiday traditions. At this time of a pandemic, our churches have been hit hard and due to restrictions attendance has been very low. We know that our receiving parishes still have the need for assistance and we will try our best to meet some of the most dire needs. The families who participate from Saint Kateri are caring and generous people who believe that sharing the blessings of Christmas are one of the special ways we as Christians can share our faith and the love of Christ.  You have always enthusiastically looked forward to the Adopt a Family program every year but we as a ministry are uncertain how things will work out this year. With that being said we will be reaching out to as many parishioners as possible and will be asking for gift cards, toys or monetary donations. We will try our best to supply the receiving parishes through the generosity of our people however, we will not be adopting specific families. Instead we are hoping you will once again open your hearts to all the many blessings we have here in Sparta and Sussex County during a time that is very uncertain. Saint Kateri has always been very generous in the past and we are always in awe of the many people who give to this very special ministry.

At this time we will begin collecting Shop Rite and Walmart gift cards (please keep denominations at $25.00 or $50.00 as well as monetary donations and new toys.   If you would like to donate on-line Click Here.  We will purchase Gift Cards and send to Adopt a Family on your behalf.

You may drop your donations off at the Parish House next to the church or send in the mail to: Saint Kateri   427 Stanhope Ave   Sparta, New Jersey 07871 

Please mark on your envelop to the:  Attention of Adopt a Family.
