Fr. Smith’s Pantano
Rotary Shoebox Project
is underway bringing joy to children in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.
These children live in makeshift houses on hillsides around Nogales.
Many of these households have no one employed. This is a
THREE-NATION effort for 600-800 or more filled shoeboxes – infants
through 12 years and 500 blankets. Warm mittens, caps, toys, etc can
fill the wrapped shoe box with top lid NOT attached to the bottom
(border inspection). Blankets may be new or used and if used must be
dry cleaned (leave cleaning tag attached). Shoeboxes
need to be returned to the Parish Office no later than Sunday,
December 14. Blankets
need to rolled like a bedroll and tied with twine or ribbon. More
information in back of church.
