Take that, you Grinch!

Parish pulls together to replace stolen gifts for the needy

A local inspirational story in the Post this morning:
With heart the parishioners of Ste. Gen occupied their day,
Securing gifts for those less fortunate than they,
But alas! The parish Giving Tree was invaded by a Grinch,
Who slithered off with 50-odd packages, leaving donors in a pinch.
"You can't stop Christmas!" they cried, and within 48 hours
They had replaced every package in wrapped and stacked towers
That were loaded into cars, vans and the occasional bus
And delivered to the families of St. Liborius.

Like their colleagues in mythical Who-ville, the parishioners of Ste. Genevieve du Bois Catholic Church have demonstrated that the spirit of Christmas may be found within one's heart.
Full story.
