Advent Time Again

At our December meeting, we once again got busy filling seed packets for the our brother and sister birds on Christmas Day.  Fraternity members do the work, but then distribute them in their own parish to share the "Feed the Birds" tradition with parishioners. 

Pam and Horace dig into one of the big pots holding the 100lbs of birdseed for this activity. 
Kathleen applies labels while Marguerite uses a homemade funnel to carefully fill a plastic bag.
There's lots of seed to go around so everybody gets in on the action!
Following distribution of packets at St. Edwards in Westminster, we received an email from a "Brother Alexis" who was so thrilled with our enterprise, that he wanted to share his joy with all of us.  I coordinated a pickup whereby he gifted each member of the fraternity with a special St. Francis book.  Look for your copy soon.
