Every year for the past 40 plus years, the Galveston Seafarers Center has collected Christmas gifts from the community to deliver aboard ships that will be in port throughout the month of December. The gifts are delivered by our port deacons and volunteers. Many times, these are the only gifts that many seafarers will receive this Christmas!
Please consider filling and wrapping a shoe box size container with these treasures and dropping them off the parish office or in the collection bin located in the vestibule of the church.

Anything else you think that a seafarer would need!
