We are very grateful to the Santa Sabina community and its events like the Father’s Day stall where we see first-hand the dedication and generosity of our families. Over 65 members of the community from Del Monte and Gioia House gave up their time, energy and love to make the Father’s Day Stall memorable for 571 children from Mary Bailey House to Gioia House. The absolute joy on the children’s faces made all the hard work worth it. The generosity to make sure no child was left without a gift was truly heartwarming. We are also extremely appreciative to all the families who supported the stall through purchasing gifts and hope that their Father’s Day was that much better knowing their gifts were hand-picked by their children. We are filled with gratitude and thank the many volunteers including parents and grandparents who gave their time wrapping presents and manning the stall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
