Don't forget St. Nicholas comes on Monday Night!

Dress down for $1.00 or more- In honor of St. Nicholas. This year we will have $1 dollar dress down on Tuesday, December 6, 2022. St. Nicholas comes on the night of 5th of December (St. Nicholas Eve) children put their shoe or boot outside the door. The traditions said that St. Nicholas fills the shoes of all good kids with delicious treats and twigs for naughty children.  

Money raised will go to St. Nicholas Academy. Please help support this worthy organization. Check out other ways you might help support this worthy organization on their webpage, stnick.org.

The Mission of St. Nicholas Academy is to partner with under-resourced families to break the cycle of poverty for children through supportive residential care and exemplary education.

At St. Nicholas, we work with families to give their sons the best opportunity possible to succeed in school and life. Our goal is that they reach their fullest potential and become the best men they can possibly be.

Inspired by Jesus Christ’s love for all, we dedicate our resources to helping boys grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually by providing the following resources free of charge:

• A safe, loving, and supportive living and learning experience at St. Nicholas
• A quality education at St. Peter Interparish School in Jefferson City, Missouri
• A year-round program with summer activities that provide many growth-filled experiences

GIVING TREE: We will again be hosting our annual Advent Giving Tree online. Supporting the needy in our community by providing some Christmas joy.

We will have a physical tree in the ramp entrance with food and money ornaments and links to the signup page for family gifts this year. We are again using SignUp.com for our Giving Tree ornament and volunteer organization. HERE is the link to sign up.

You will sign up online to choose your “ornament.” If you do not have access to the internet, you can call the Parish Office and our staff will help you sign up and tell you what is needed. 

For added safety and convenience, you can even shop online for your “ornament” and have the gifts shipped directly to the Parish Office! No need to get out to go the store or even to drop off the gifts. You will need to note on the shipment what the gift is for, or email outreach@saintpeterjc.org with information about your shipment so that we can properly mark the gifts as they come in.

Volunteers will be needed to help wrap gifts that are shipped in and to help distribute gifts. This year, there will be contactless delivery of gifts and food to recipients’ vehicles. Please note your desire to help with this ministry on your Parish Stewardship Commitment Form!

Please deliver or drop off your gifts to the Parish Office by Wednesday, December 7.
