The Adopt-A-Family program is a partnership between St. Bede parish families and families from several parishes downtown. Through the program, in late November and early December each year, in-need families are adopted and given the gift of Christmas by the family that adopted them. As an adopting family, you provide your adopted family with gifts, clothing and food -- sharing the spirit of Christmas in a truly magnificent way. Information on age, size, sex, etc. is available when you select your family. In addition to providing the Christmas items, you will need to deliver your gifts, etc. to the family's parish on a given Saturday.
