ADOPT-A-FAMILY
Mission
To meet the needs and fulfill Christmas wishes of families in need by collecting clothing and gifts for delivery at Christmas time.
About the Ministry
The Adopt-A-Family Program, created to bring the Light of Christ and the Magic of Christmas to the streets of Skid Row, offers an opportunity to share that joy. Sharing our gifts and resources, our own lives are filled with joy as we see the face of Christ in our brothers and sisters.
This is a combined effort with the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. The Cathedral has families available for adoption. Then we work through the St. Bruno ministries, as well as
through individual parishioners, our own families, friends and co-workers to fill the wants and needs of some of these families.
Much preparation is needed so that two weekends in November can be dedicated to having parishioners sign up to provide one or more gifts to specific adopted families. St. Bruno parishioner help is always needed for the large amount of shopping and wrapping necessary in late November and early December. Finally one weekend in December is dedicated to the collection and organization of the gifts to be sent to the Cathedral.
