Poinsettia Sale 2019
For the past fourteen years, the youth of the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary have embarked on a wonderful ministry of delivering poinsettias and Christmas cards to our sick and/or homebound during the Advent season.
To help support this very important ministry, we are selling 6-inch multiple blooms, florist quality poinsettias. The $15 cost will purchase one flower for you and one flower for one of our sick and/or homebound. Once we have raised enough to provide a poinsettia for all of our sick and homebound, the remaining money will be used toward our Faith Formation/youth program.
The deadline for ordering is Tuesday, December 3rd, and pickup of the flowers will be from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. (noon), Saturday December 14th in the Tileston Center.
Please prayerfully consider purchasing a poinsettia to help support the St. Mary youth and their endeavors.
In Christ,
