The Christmas Appeal
This Christmas, young Catholics in the Gulf South received a king-sized gift they will enjoy for years to come: Camp Abbey. But, like any gift, this one did not come without sacrifice. Saint Joseph Woodworks, which operated out of the camp buildings, had to move. You can help us meet this challenge.
