Gesu Blood Drive

January 2009 is National Blood Donor Month. Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months due to the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather and illness. January, in particular, is a difficult month for blood centers to collect blood donations.

So, Gesu Parish is sponsoring a Blood Drive on Monday January 19 from 12:45 - 5:45 p.m. Sign up today. If you can't give blood, perhaps you can help in another way: by providing hospitality or making chili or corn bread. Click here for more information on how you can share the gift of life.

Giving Opportunities

Looking for ways to make someone else's Christmas special? We are collecting mittens and winter wear for our Mitten Tree, and health items for the school children of our twin parish, St. Jude in Haiti. Click here for more information on how you can participate in these projects.
