Operation Christmas Child

This year’s goal – 250 boxes!

For those of you who haven’t heard about this effort, Operation Christmas Child involves filling a small gift (shoe-size) box with toys, supplies, and goodies - that will be sent to needy children around the world. In 2008, the generous parishioners of Our Lady of the Visitation helped 205 needy children by filling boxes with supplies, toys, and Christmas joy.

• Starting Sat., Oct. 17, 2009: Pick up a brochure/instruction pamphlet and “pre-made” box at the front church entrance (if there are no pre-made boxes available, please pick up a brochure and use a regular shoe box)
• Between Sat., Oct. 17 – Friday, Nov. 7: Please fill up your gift box and drop it off, in the specially-marked containers in the church, before or after any weekend mass
• Saturday, Nov. 7 – Sunday, Nov. 8: Final drop-off of your gift boxes before or after the weekend masses

We hope you see this initiative as a simple way to make a difference in a child's life and we thank you in advance for your support.
