sfx Food pantry christmas baskets
Make a neighbor's holiday special
Each year the SFX Food Pantry provides families in need with a wonderful Christmas meal. Each family will receive a turkey, a bag of baking goods, fresh produce (onions and potatoes), Christmas cookies baked by our parishioners, and more!
These baskets not only provide a holiday meal but also help families while many food pantries close before the New Year.

Important Information
In November 2023, Bishop Johnston announced “The Way: Youth to Young Adult Initiative. “This new policy sets the time for ordinary reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation to be 6th Grade. Father Don Farnan and our parish leadership will be exploring ways to work with St. James and St. Therese Little Flower, and Visitation to implement this new policy.
