The Witness to Hope funds received by St. Mary Queen of Angels Parish in Swartz Creek enabled them to hold their first-ever Community Kids Day last August. More than 200 enjoyed the bounce houses, carnival games, balloon twisting, slides, concessions and face painting. Completely funded by Witness to Hope, this event was free for the community. The parish also used its funds to hire a youth event coordinator, Jessica Grima. Since Jessica has joined the team, the parish has been able to offer more opportunities for youth to encounter Christ.
