As the Christmas season approaches we often think of family and friends, especially those who are far away and cannot be with us during the holidays. Our unique “spiritual care packages” are an opportunity to reach out in a special way to those who are separated from their families because of the duties of military service, especially those who are actively engaged in combat.

Each package listed below will be sent by us and will include a blessed medal and a Christmas card. The options include sending either a booklet of St. Jude Novena prayers or a Bible approved by the U.S. Military Chaplains in a convenient pocket size. The packages meet all USPS requirements and costs include postage and handling.

This is the first time we have included a special outreach to our military personnel. Whatever one’s personal beliefs about war in general or specific, our brothers and sisters are risking their lives in service to others. May this be a way to bring the light and hope of the Christmas season to them!
