Faith Club Christmas Party 2023
Over 100 people enjoyed the Faith Club Christmas Party this year! Prayers and Christmas carols were led by Santa himself (Jeff Wright)! Everyone shared a delicious dinner catered by Huber’s, and then danced the night away. One of our Faith Club members (Joey) even made gifts for everyone! This is a yearly tradition for him and reminds us of Jesus’ unconditional love for us. We currently have Faith Clubs for our adults with disabilities meeting at Ascension, Our Lady of Lourdes, Flaget, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Thomas in Bardstown. The Christmas Party is one of three much-anticipated events we sponsor to bring everyone together! Please contact us if you have a potential member or if you would like to get involved. We love our Faith Club members and leaders!
