The recent Christmas Store
project served 331 families rep-
resenting 1,458 parents and
children. They received a vari-
ety of new clothing, toys and
household items. Thomas Coe,,
project coordinator, said that
services provided were 10 per-
cent more than the year before.
"I want to sincerely thank
each person who contributed
their time, money, and/or tal-
ents to this year's event," said
Coe. "It was again an out-
standing effort by many gener-
ous and compassionate individ-
uals." The project is supported
primarily by donations and
volunteers from 29 area
parishes.

love of Christ, is concerned
about the needs of the human
person and the means to meet
these needs," according to the
Catholic Charities USA Cadre
Study. "It seems to enable the
individual to function as a
truly human person and to en-
able groups to develop into mu-
tually supportive communities
bound together by justice and
love."
That study stated that "Pro-
grams benefit people only
when they contribute to the in-
dividual's freedom and inde-
pendence. Catholic Charities
must commit itself boldly to
the complete liberation of per-
sons so that they can be the
real artisans of their destinies,
the shapers of history, the free
active builders of their fu-
tures."
A search is currently under-
way for board members for the
Catholic Charities Bureau.

May, for persons interested in
