For most of us, the Christmas season is a time of joyous celebration. Families gather together, gifts are selected with special care and lovingly exchanged, special meals are prepared and enjoyed, and joy and laughter fill our homes and hearts. However, many Nebraskans, already struggling to meet the day-to-day needs of their households see little reason to celebrate the birth of our Lord. The stresses of the holidays test their economic and emotional resources.
Catholic Social Services offers several unique opportunities for individuals and organizations to perform Works of Mercy during Advent.
