Catholic Daughters show appreciation to military

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas will be holding a special “Thank You Project” in support of members of the military who currently serve the country.

On September 30 and October 1 after all Masses at St. Ignatius Loyola church, the CDA will host tables at the priests' garage where you can write a quick note of support. The CDA will supply paper, cards, pens and markers. You may also drop off notes you have already prepared.

You may also drop off your cards at any time in the box located in the church or mail or drop them to the rectory office (St. Ignatius Loyola, 129 Broadway, Hicksville NY 11801). Please mark them “Catholic Daughters Thank You Project”. Cards must be received by October 22.

Suggestions and other important guidelines:

• Address your card to “Dear

Family Care

Friend” or “Dear Service Member”

• Be positive! Write a note of encouragement or tell them of your hobbies or what life is like in your town.

• You do not need to sign your full name or provide an address.

• Please refrain from political statements or inappropriate topics or lengthy religions discussions.

• Please do not be holiday specific as cards will be sent throughout the year.
