The St. Rose Society has placed a box in the entrance of church to receive your used Christmas cards for their tray favor project. Feel free to trim off the personal message side of the cards before turning them in. The cards are trimmed, labeled and used as Christmas tray favors each year at the Fredericksburg nursing homes, the hospital and the Kerrville VA Hospital. Many thanks.
