St. Nicholas Day

St. Nicholas Day (Dec 4, 2020)

Donations to St. Nicholas can still be made by credit card or PayPal by end-of-day December 4.  Follow the directions on this page and don’t forget to specify “St. Nicholas.”: https://stpaulscary.org/stewardship/donate-to-st-pauls/.  COVID-19 means we will not be able to meet and turn in our gifts and receive our chocolate “gold” as usual. But we can still remember those in need.  We will buy and distribute gift cards to the roughly 400 children at the agencies we support.
