The Alternative Christmas Market provides an opportunity for people to reevaluate the commercialism and cultural pressures we have come to associate with Christmas gift-giving. St. Joseph Catholic Community is attempting to recapture the true meaning of Christmas by supporting one another in making God present in our world through serving others, especially those in need. During the Market, in a festive atmosphere, representatives from outreach agencies are in the gym.
Shoppers can learn more about what they do and make a donation in someone's name.
They receive a gift card to give as a Christmas gift. St. Nicholas is also here to meet the children.
