Did you know that St. Agnes is the Patron Saint of Girl Scouts and gardeners? Coincidentally, St. Thomas the Apostle has a “twinning parish, St. Agnes, which is located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (Lakota Indians). The St. Thomas team talked to the pastor, Father Peter, about their needs for the coming winter. He indicated the need for blankets, sleeping bags and gently used children's coats, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, and sweatshirts. If you can help, please send your items directly to St Thomas, which is located at 1500 Brookdale Road, Naperville. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
