Later that afternoon, they displayed Col. Kegerreis’ army jeep and antique 1985 GMC Caballero at the Veteran’s Day festivities at Landmark Nursing Home in Collins, MS. While at the Landmark, Col.

St. Elizabeth’s is always grateful for opportunities to honor the veterans who served our country.

Thanksgiving meal fixing for foster families

On the Friday before Thanksgiving, St. Elizabeth’s provided 35 boxes of food to the foster families of Covington County. The boxes contained enough fixings to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for each family. The church has provided this outreach service for several years.

Helping to pack the boxes and deliver them to the Department of Human Services were Law and Public Safety students of Covington County Career and Technical Education Complex. They were accompanied by their teacher, Jennifer Cade.
