A West Philadelphia parish is leading the way in making Christmas amid COVID brighter for local families.
Earlier this week, staff and volunteers from St. Cyprian Parish in Philadelphia began distributing bags of wrapped gifts for all ages, including shirts, slacks, pajamas, winter socks, hair ornaments, designer-label children’s clothing – and even a candy-apple-red BMX bicycle.
