On October 3, 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued an official Thanksgiving Proclamation to set apart the last Thursday in November as a day of gratitude, and public acknowledgement, for all the blessings God had conferred upon the nation.
As we give our thanks and blessings at Thanksgiving dinner, we and our Neighbors in Need, are grateful to our parishioners who have continually provided food and housing.
