Christmas Party

Members enjoyed our Court’s annual Christmas party on Sunday, December 9. We gathered in the Community Center to enjoy potluck dishes, games, music and visiting with each other. Father Ralph joined us, as well as a great many guests, both old and young! Drawing skills were tested during Pictionary, as well as everyone’s memory of Christmas songs! Bingo winners chose gifts from the White Elephant table.

Lela Polichino was the winner for the grand raffle prize: a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Hope. The beautiful centerpieces designed by Christine Maniscalco were raffled off as well. Pat Gutierrez also provided Christmas poppers.

Three very full boxes of teen gifts for boys and girls were delivered to Cypress Assistance Ministries just in time for distribution for Christmas.

Salute to Veterans

From November 10 to 13 the main driveway leading into Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church was lined with American flags.  Some of the flags had an additional ribbon commemorating a veteran sponsored by parishioners in conjunction with our Wreaths Across American sales weekend..

The court was joined with American Heritage Girls and their mothers in helping to get sponsorships, as well as placement of the flags.  The weekend was a bit cool, but it did not slow down the enthusiasm of all the girls and women involved in placement of the flags.

Members who helped were: Christine Maniscalco, Fredna Kilcommins, Carol Hall, Elizabeth Thompson and Yvonne Rinaldi.

Court members who assisted with flag retirement were: Marge Andreo, Martha Stevens,
