Veterans Day Collection – Thank You!

The K of C Elder Council 1195 graciously thanks the parishioners of St. Gertrude Church for their generous contribution to the Veterans Day Collection.

Parishioners donated 18 bags and boxes of personal items, toiletries, stationary products, puzzles, and detergent. They also gave $1,470.00 in cash and checks and $100.00 in gift cards.

All items and monies go directly to the veterans in the Cincinnati area, who are most appreciative.

Thank you for showing your gratitude to our veterans for all they have done for the United States of America.
